A# Standing at the water's edge Gm I dropped my dreams when I dropped my nets D# No hesitation no regrets Cm A# I followed you but that was then and this is now You washed my feet and You changed my name I swore I'd never be the same But just like the tides, I guess people change But that was then And this is now Chorus: A# F/A I wish I could go back but I don't know how Gm I remember when I stood my ground, I swore I'd never let you down D# I want to be that man again Cm A# But that was then and this now I watched the blind man lift his head And look his Savior in the eyes I heard a dead man take a breath Dropped to my knees as I watched him rise And I felt the sea beneath my feet As I stepped out on the angry waves But You saw the storm raging within You reached out and calmed me then But this is now Chorus D# A# Just when I thought my sin had closed the door G# Cm I see my savior standing on the shore D# With arms wide open Gm F/A D# Just like the first time you called my name A# You said that was then and this is now Chorus: My child, I bore your cross, I wore your crown When you couldn't come to me, my love came down So take My hand, I'll lead you out Cause that was then And this is now My child, I bore your cross, I wore your crown You couldn't come to me, so my love came down So take My hand, I'll lead you out You'll never be that man again Cause that was then And this is now You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  Cm  D#  F  G#  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
