We used to hide from the light We got used to the dark ‘Cause love came running like a river That was then, this is now So go ahead, put the past in the past We’ve been remade by grace
We made friends with the night
We were headed the wrong way on a one way track
Going nowhere fast
We thought this is who we
are
And we figured that we were just too far gone
But we were wrong
And we got washed in the water
Then He said you’re forgiven
Your sins are gone
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
Box it up like an old photograph
You don’t
have to go back
‘Cause that was then and this is now
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

That Was Then (This Is Now) is a song interpreted by Jack White, released on the album Fear Of The Dawn in 2022. Do you know where to go? There are plenty of ways I looked all
over town, all aroundInformation
When you're walking around at midnight?
You can look high and low
But you won't
Find yourself without a flashlight
To explain your situation
When you're searching for love
You have no time to be patient
I didn't see you anymore
You were safe and bound, underground
Where I couldn't see you at all
I found myself, right at home on the shelf
While you were busy looking for yourself
That was then and this is now
And now the time has come
There was a time whеn a boy would cry alone
In his room, in the
corner
And it's a crimе that his toys would turn to stone
Like their original owner
But that was then and this is now
We all just figure it out somehow
Yes, we do
Ain't it true?
Find yourself over the hill
Break your crown, Jack and Jill
In the open or underground
Are you making plans or just making sounds?
Looking up
and over the moon
You can find yourself
But don't find it too soon
Don't find it too soon
Take your time
But don't find it too soon
I looked all over town, all around
I couldn't find you anywhere
You were safe underground
Not a sound
Disappearing into thin air
