I use to listen to worldly songs, and the holy spirit directed me to this song on the radio. God was in the process of renewing my mind. Great song by the way!
Heres the lyrics :] 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
This song means so much to me. I had a very turbulent past and sometimes Satan tries to make me still feel guilty 😔 about my past, but this song reminds me that I've been washed in the water and cleansed by his blood, the precious blood of Jesus Christ. When Satan tries to bring me down I remind him that I'm a child of God and my past is in the past. I've been remade!! Thank you Josh Wilson for writing and singing this song!! ❤️ It bring joy to my heart and soul!! It is so powerful!!
This song makes me smile every time I hear it! It makes me think that We Are Gods Children and that once we are saved that the Old life is gone and the new has come! Thank you Josh wilson for writing this Awesome and Encouraging song! Whenever this song comes on the Radio I turn it up loud and I sing along! I love it!!! It's a Catchy song too! :) I will buy this song on iTunes soon!!! :)
I just got to say, this song is my go to song when I go to school and every kid is spouting out every nasty word they can conjure up in their head. God reminds me every day that I am his daughter through all the Christian songs I hear, and this is one of the top songs. :) Keep doing God's work here on Earth, and keep reminding everyone who He truly is, because he truly is amazing!
That's why even though its hard sometimes we have to live by example and let them see what our lives are like when we are changed by the grace of Jesus Christ and His atonement
"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!!!!" Lyrics r boss!!
I felt the grace and love of God come into my body when I started singing! I loved it because I know that God loves me that much more than before. Also if you just come videos to dislike them. Please so away because this is Gods song. Its just like you are disliking God. Thats not good. Hit that like button and subscribe buttom
+Gandalf the Pwner Close, so close. Hey, I'll cut him some slack, every time our pastor tells us to open into the Old Testament books he reminds us to "blow the dust off" as a joke.
I love this song. Some older Christians I have spoken to decry today's Christian music because they say it doesn't live up to the songs of their era. I find that to be closed minded. I'm sure the Christians before the time we grew up in said the same thing. I judge the songs of today on the message they preach. Remember, these kids grew up in a different time than our own and may think the songs we listen to are too old fashioned. As we used this medium to reach others of our generation, so are they.
Past is just a memory and whatever you going threw it shall come to pass.so be grateful for the ride and know life is a learning experience and evolving into Gods creation and living life with God and Jesus Christ is the best event that ever happen in my life I don't even be bother with my life before I excepted Christ in it because it was dark even the night and street life.only way I look back is to see how for I came and grew with God and how He got me out of so much trouble I could of been in and got destroy.2thumbs up for father the son the holy spirit.
This is a great song & awesome music video! I loved it, shows how some people get comfortable living in the darkness, but nothing beats living in the light with Jesus Christ. This is one of my favorite songs that I like to sing along when it comes out on the radio!
this is me and my sisters song also known as my best friend we are both christians love this song and love when the singer says that was then this is now thank you god for giving me such a good friend god is so great i love him
I finally seen the video I listen to 710am radio in Sacramento everyday and they been broadcasting this concert in Dec for 2months I'm going never been to a show like this so this will be interesting
5 years ago my (now) ex-boyfriend shared this song with me. If you're reading this, I seriously hope God is doing something with you as well. Neither of us was actually a christian back then.
+TheGlenmanusskinhead He can do that faster if you give it over to Him, He has sorted out mine totally, and He turned it for my good even, VERY GOOD. Now i have been formed and shaped as an instrument for His LOVE - took years and years and years................. and probably more still ö still i have to lét Him use me :((( I CAN close up like any old clam.... by choice. BLESS YOU and yours
+TheGlenmanusskinhead The past happened (there's a saying that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future), but when you accept Christ as your savior and accept what he did for you, then God no longer sees you as you were then. He sees you only as you are now, and in Christ you are white as snow.

It only takes a moment to stop going in the wrong direction, repent, and point back in God's Direction. Where you've headed is the most important part, and this song inspires me!!
When I went through depression in my life I kept listening to this song cause I knew it would help me and guess what I was right. Thank you Jesus for helping me through the tuff times!
awesome bro love this music ever since God has made me and my brother believer and brought us together every one else became believers too God has blessed me and my family and you with your talents can't wait for the next one
I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU MADE MORE MUSIC!!! I LOVE YOUR SONGS BECAUSE OF THE LYRICS JUST TOUCH YOU! THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST SINGER AND SONGWRITER! BE PRAYING FOR YOU!
Why isn't this more popular? Cuz it's about god? This sounds amazing across between Keith Urban, Hunter Hayes and Gavin Degraw. Great production and writing. One of the best melody structures I've heard in the past 5 years.
Brilliant song! I love to play it on keys, where I put a bluesy spin on part of it. Not to say anything is wrong with this version. I love this version. The lyrics are very joyful. It's a hopeful message. Thank you Josh Wilson and company.
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

Heres the lyrics :] 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

Found this song while searching for Kevin Max's "That Was Then and This Is Now". I guess I'm pretty impressed with both.
This sounds like something Matthew West would sing
I am Atheist and like this song. Good music.

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

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
I felt like this for two weeks and now I'm not who I was because God saved me, brought me back to reality, and now I don't feel guilty anymore.

It only takes a moment to stop going in the wrong direction, repent, and point back in God's Direction. Where you've headed is the most important part, and this song inspires me!!
