That Was Then, This Is Now

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 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 'Cause love came runnin' like a river And we got washed in the water Then He said you're forgiven And your sins are gone 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 We've been remade by grace We've all got new names And nothin' we do could ever change What He did that day When love came runnin' like a river We got washed in the water Then He said you're forgiven And you belong 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 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 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 (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 (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
