We used to hide from the light<\/span>
\n We made friends with the night<\/span>
\n We were headed the wrong way on a one way track<\/span>
\n Going nowhere fast<\/span><\/p>\n

We got used to the dark<\/span>
\n We thought this is who we are<\/span>
\n And we figured that we were just too far gone<\/span>
\n But we were wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Cause love came running like a river<\/span>
\n And we got washed in the water<\/span>
\n Then He said you’re forgiven<\/span>
\n Your sins are gone<\/span><\/p>\n

That was then, this is now<\/em><\/span>
\n You’re bought by the blood,<\/span>
\nSaved by the Son the saints all sing about<\/span><\/em>
\n That was lost, this is found<\/em><\/span>
\n And it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So go ahead, put the past in the past<\/span>
\n Box it up like an old photograph<\/span>
\n You don’t have to go back<\/span>
\n \u2018Cause that was then and this is now<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve been remade by grace<\/span>
\n We’ve all got new names<\/span>
\n And nothing we do could ever change<\/span>
\n What He did that day<\/span><\/p>\n

If we turn and confess every unrighteousness<\/span>
\n He is faithful and just to forgive<\/span>
\n Oh, so turn and confess every wrong and regret<\/span>
\n And see what it means to live<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Cause that was then and this is now<\/span><\/p>\n
