Before the After
I know that you relive the moments
Like seeing pictures in a book
All those mistakes that you once made
And the wrong roads that you took
I know you're hearing the accuser
He's saying you ain't changed that much
Your guilt is right here waiting
But don t you pick it up
'Cause everything he's saying
About you was...
Before the after
Before the grace came in
Forgiven has been written
Over all you've done
And who you've been
Mercy says the past is past
And it doesn't matter
'Cause this is here and now
And that was you
Before the after
Sometimes it's just one little failure
Sends you back down that broken road
I can identify with that
'Cause I've been there, so I know
The only reason to remember
Is so that you can testify
You talk about the darkness
And how you found the light
For someone else who's struggling
In that old life
Before the after
Before the grace came in
Forgiven has been written
Over all you've done
And who you've been
Mercy says the past is past
And it doesn't matter
'Cause this is here and now
And that was you
Before the after
It has no power
You've closed that door
You tell your story
But you don't live there anymore
Before the after
Before the grace came in
Forgiven has been written
Over all you've done
And who you've been
Mercy says the past is past
And it doesn't matter
'Cause this is here and now
And that was you
Before the after
Ooh...
Before the after
Before, before the after
And that was you
Before the after
