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

LyricsYou 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
