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
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
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

Post Chorus

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 2

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
And 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

Post Chorus

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

Bridge

If we turn and confess
Every unrighteousness
He is faithful and just to forgive
So turn and confess
Every wrong and regret
And see what it means to live

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

Post Chorus

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

Post Chorus

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
