Lyrics
That Was Then
By: Marie Ashmeade
February 2003
I see in you who I used to be before Christ rescued me
I know exactly where you stand; I once stood on sinking sand
Those shoes you wear, once shod my feet
But I strapped them on; I thought I was complete
I once saw through those sin stained eyes
?Til the great redeemer, helped me realize
The free gift He was offering
Would liberate me from all sin
Bur that was then; this is now
Jesus rose; He's risen now
That was then; this is now
Jesus saves; He knows how
That was then; this is now
Jesus saves; He'll save you now
That was then, this is now
Confess your sins, ask, He'll come in
That was then, this is now
Get on your knees, before Him bow
That was then, this is now
No sinking sand, on Christ I stand
That was then, this is now
Unshackled feet, now I'm complete
That was then, this is now
I've tossed those shoes, Christ brings good news
That was then, this is now
He healed my sight, now I see the light
That was then, this is now
Through thick and thin, I look to Him
That was then, this is now
Through stormy days, He's there always
That was then, this sis now
Jesus lives; He forgives
That was then, this is now
I'm born again
