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.
