Jimmy Needham - Before And After lyrics

rate me

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?’ CHORUS 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 (Chorus) I got a name change And that’s the strange thing ‘Cause I was once stained But now I’m called saint (Chorus)
