THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW

By Josh Wilson



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

Bianule By Samsong

Languages: English and Nigerian Igbo

Thank you for the life that you gave to us
Thank you for your will to guide us
Thank you for your word to direct us
Oh without a doubt you are the God for us

In the morning time; you are the dawn
In the evening time from dusk till dawn
We salute you ’cause you are the don
And for all the things you’ve done

Refrain:
A brand new life he gives
To my friends and family
Now am living in victory
Now misery is far from me

Bianule bianule (Come and see/hear)
Ife chukwu merem (What the Lord has done for ne)
Agama e Nye ya ekene (I will thank Him)
Agama si ya imela (I will extol your goodness) (Repeat)

I ask myself what kind of love is this?
You be blessing me now I live in bliss
Count my many blessing then I make the list
Oh, what an unending list
I take some time to reminisce
Of the many blessings I would have missed
If I didn’t have you right in my mix
Thank your for loving me

(Refrain)

Bridge:
House on a hill, Diamond rings
Golden beads that he gave to me
Life eternally, gave me everything
I be counting my blessing  and that’s for real

Imela Chineke (Thank you God)
Imela onye nwe m (Thank you our Creator)
Imela Chineke, Nna Imela o (Thank you God, I thank you)
(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Tori naa Lawa N Yo

This is an old powerful song from my home church. I love it!
*************************************************

Tori naa lawa n yo
Tori naa lawa n yin Baba
Tori Oluwa seun ara
Tori naa lawa n dupe.

I translate it thus:

That's why we're rejoicing
That's why we're praising the Father
For the Lord has done great and wondrous things
That's why we are grateful.
 

As We Pray--Bob Fitts

Oh God
Hear the cry of Your people
Oh God
As we call on Your name
Oh God
Come pour out Your mercy
As we pray
As we pray

We are called to be
A people of prayer
Of fervent petition
Compassion and care
We arise to meet this call to share
The light of Your glory
Your mighty deliverance
The power of You passion
For people everywhere

Our Father by Fred Hammond

Our Father
We love to call You
By your grace You have adopted
Now we're Your children
You now receive us
Joint heirs with Jesus
Our Father, our Father
[Channel]
Your awesome love
You've shown to us
Goes beyond our wildest dreams
You saturate our lives with grace and mercy
And because You love
You chasten us
If we should go astray
Like a Father
Our Father
Our Father, our Father
Our Father, our Father

Who Is There Like You (From "We Are One" Album)

1. Who is there like You O God?
You who created us in Your likeness
Who is there like You O God?
It's an honour, Lord to stand and worship You

Chorus:
We lift our hands to the great I AM
Who was and is and is to come
We lift our hands to the great I AM
Who can compare with You?

2. Who is there like You O God?
You who created us for Your pleasure
Who is there like You O God?
You've appointed us to be Your very own

 

There Is Nothing I Need

Note: I do not know the original writer of this song.

There is nothing that I need that he won’t provide

There is nothing that I need that he won’t supply

 

If I believe

If I believe

[Repeat]

 

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

‘Cause I believe, yes I believe

  

 

There is nothing that I need that he won’t provide

There is nothing that I need that he won’t supply

 

Since I believe

Since I believe

[Repeat]

 

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

‘Cause I believe, yes I believe

 

 

 

There is nothing that I need that he won’t provide

There is nothing that I need that he won’t supply

 

When I believe

When I believe

[Repeat]

 

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

And so, I say to the mountain move

And so, I say to the mountain get out of my way

‘Cause I believe, yes I believe

Above All ( Michael W. Smith)

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Like the rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
