This Is Now

Standing at the water's edge

I dropped my dreams when I dropped my nets

No hesitation no regrets

I followed you but that was then and this is now

You washed my feet and you changed my name

I swore I'd never be the same

Just like the tides I guess people change

'Cause that was then and this is now

[Chorus]

I wish I could go back but I don't know how

I remember when I stood my ground

I swore I'd never let you down

I want to be that man again

But that was then and this now

I watched the blind man lift his head

And look his savor in the eyes

I heard a dead man take a breath

Dropped to my knees as I watched him rise

And I felt the sea beneath my feet

As I stepped out on the angry waves

But you saw the storm raging within

You reached out and calmed me then but this is now

[Chorus]

I wish I could go back but I don't know how

I remember when I stood my ground

I swore I'd never let you down

I want to be that man again

But that was then and this now

Just when I thought my sin had closed the door

I see my savior standing on the shore

With arms wide open

Just like the first time you called my name

You said that was then and this is now

My child I bore your cross

I wore your crown

When you couldn't come to me my love came down

So take my hand I'll lead you out

'Cause that was then and this is now

My child I bore your cross

I wore your crown

When you couldn't come to me my love came down

So take my hand I'll lead you out

You'll never be that man again

'Cause that was then and this is now
