Jimmy Needham - Before and After lyrics
[Jimmy Needham - Before and After lyrics]
I said you gotta leave, you gotta promise me
It's the beginning of my end
You gotta promise me
How can a holy God renew a wicked Pharisee
I'm saying I'm like Peter in the boat
So just depart from me
It seems I'm destined for
Doom like ancient prophesy
And in the dark I'm consumed
It's just too much for me
With sin in full bloom
My gloom booms by the full moon
And I'm thinking to myself
'how can You rescue me?'
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
Then in the darkness of this room
You snuck up next to me
You put your hand upon my wound
And whispered 'rest in me'
And there I stepped out of
The tomb and into destiny
The rest they say is history
Your grace is such a mystery
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
I got a name change
And that's the strange thing
'Cause, I was once stained
But now I'm called saint
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
It's the beginning of my end
You gotta promise me
How can a holy God renew a wicked Pharisee
I'm saying I'm like Peter in the boat
So just depart from me
It seems I'm destined for
Doom like ancient prophesy
And in the dark I'm consumed
It's just too much for me
With sin in full bloom
My gloom booms by the full moon
And I'm thinking to myself
'how can You rescue me?'
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
Then in the darkness of this room
You snuck up next to me
You put your hand upon my wound
And whispered 'rest in me'
And there I stepped out of
The tomb and into destiny
The rest they say is history
Your grace is such a mystery
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
I got a name change
And that's the strange thing
'Cause, I was once stained
But now I'm called saint
My before and after, I can't but sing
My before and after
I'll sing praises to my King
My before and after, here's the anthem
Let it ring one love, two arms, three scars
Draw us to where You are
No one is too far for You to save a heart
