That Was Then, This Is Now - Josh Wilson

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 running like a river

And we got washed in the water

Then He said you’re forgiven

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 nothing we do could ever change

What He did that day

When love came running 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

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

‘Cause that was then and this is now
