Christian Gospel Music
That Was Then. This Is Now
Jesus came down to earth one day
They laid him in a manger asleep in the hay
He didn't have much just a poor family
But never did you once hear my Jesus complain
He never took a liking to material things
THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW
Back then it was a cross and a crown of thorns
Now He is the King and the Lord of Lords
He used to be a lowly carpenters' son
Now He's building mansions one by one
Well He used to walk around on an old dirt road
Now He's stepping out on the streets of gold
THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW
I used to walk around livin' in sin
I didn't have no hope no peace within
I had the weight of this ol' world strapped to my back
You know it took me by surprise when he lifted that load
Now I want to shout it let everybody know
THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW
Repeat chorus 2 times ….
