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 (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
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 (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
