That Was Then, This is Now

[Verse 1]
We used to hide from the light
We made friends with the night
We were headed the wrong way on a one-way track
Going nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
We got used to the dark
We thought this is who we are
And we figured that we were just too far gone
But we were wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause love came running like a river
And we got washed in the water
Then He said, "You're forgiven
And your sins are gone"

[Chorus]
That was then, this is now
You’re bought by the blood
Saved by the Son the saints all sing about
That was lost, this is found
And it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don’t have to go back
‘Cause that was then, and this is now

[Verse 3]
We've been remade by grace
We've all got new names
And nothing we do could ever change
What He did that day

[Pre-Chorus]
When love came running like a river
We got washed in the water
Then He said, "You’re forgiven
And you belong"

[Chorus]
That was then, this is now
You’re bought by the blood
Saved by the Son the saints all sing about
That was lost, this is found
And it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don’t have to go back
‘Cause that was then

[Bridge]
If we turn and confess every unrighteousness
He is faithful and just to forgive
Oh, so turn and confess every wrong and regret
And see what it means to live

[Chorus]
That was then, this is now (This is now)
You’re bought by the blood
Saved by the Son the saints all sing about (The saints all sing about)
That was lost, this is found (This is found)
And it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now (So say goodbye)
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
You don’t have to go back
‘Cause that was then, and this is now

[Outro]
So go ahead, put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph (This is now)
You don’t have to go back
‘Cause that was then, and this is now
