This Is Now

[Intro] G  D  Em7  A7(4)

                       G
Standing at the water's edge
                                       G/E
I dropped my dreams when I dropped my nets
                      Em7
No hesitation no regrets
                    A7(4)                    G
I followed you but that was then and this is now

                                       G
You washed my feet and you changed my name
                            G/E
I swore I'd never be the same
                                       Em7
But just like the tides I guess people change
                  A7(4)            G
'Cause that was then and this is now

  G                                     D
I wish I could go back but I don't know how
                              Em7
I remember when I stood my ground

I swore I'd never let you down
                        C
I want to be that man again
      A7(4)                  G
But that was then and this now

                                  G
I watched the blind man lift his head
                            G/E
And look his savor in the eyes
                            Em7
I heard a dead man take a breath
        A7(4)                          G
Dropped to my knees as I watched him rise

                              G
And I felt the sea beneath my feet
                               G/E
As I stepped out on the angry waves
                               Em7
But you saw the storm raging within
                        A7(4)                G
You reached out and calmed me then but this is now

    G                                  D
I wish I could go back but I don't know how
                            Em7
I remember when I stood my ground

I swore I'd never let you down
                        C
I want to be that man again
    A7(4)                    C9
But that was then and this now

    C                                   Em
Just when I thought my sin had closed the door
   C                             Em
I see my savor standing on the shore
         C9
With arms wide open
       C9                  D              A7(4)
Just like the first time you called my name
                   C                 G
You said that was then and this is now

  G
My child I bore your cross
        D
I wore your crown
                                       Em7
When you couldn't come to me my love came down
                            C
So take my hand I'll lead you out
                 A7(4)             G
'Cause that was then and this is now

   G
My child I bore your cross
          D
I wore your crown
                                       Em7
When you couldn't come to me my love came down
                             C
So take my hand I'll lead you out
                          Em7
You'll never be that man again
              A7(4)                 G
'Cause that was then and this is now
