In the dark times, we think that is all there is. The darkness makes us forget the good times. But this doesn't have to be. God is with us at all times and is protecting us and making provision for us. We can remember the good times of the past and look forward to the good times to come.
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
That was lost, this is found
And it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now
We can say goodbye to the old us because we are bought by the blood of the Lamb. What was lost is now found! Rejoice!
That Was Then, This Is Now
Artist Name - Josh Wilson
Album - TBD
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
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
