Lyrics

Verse 1

The day I died was a funeral

Crucified with all my sin and stains

The day I died was a funeral

Found my life on the cross that day

Pre-Chorus

The day I died I was dead and buried

This old ghost, whispering my name

The day I died, every sin I carried

This old ghost rattling old chains

Chorus

Now is the time to bid the past goodbye

Now is the time, for heaven is nigh

And now is the time to let the Old Self die

Now, now is the time

Verse 2

The day I died was a miracle

Freedom broke every past and chain

The day I died was a miracle

Prison crumbled in a Jesus-quake

Pre-Chorus 2

The day I died I was up and breathing

This old ghost doesn’t know my name

The day I died, I was carried

To the life that’ll never be the same

Chorus

Now is the time to bid the past goodbye

Now is the time, for heaven is night

And now is the time to let the Old Self die

Now, now is the time

Bridge

When the sun sets, I will remember

Who the Son sets free is free indeed

When the sun sets, I will remember

When the Son sets free…

When the sun sets, I will remember

Who the Son sets free is free indeed

When the sun sets, I will remember

When the Son sets free…

Chorus/Bridge

Now is the time to bid the past goodbye

(When the sun sets, I will remember, when the Son sets free)

Now is the time, for heaven is nigh

(When the sun sets, I will remember, when the Son sets free)

And now is the time to let the Old Self die

(When the sun sets, I will remember, when the Son sets free)

Now, now is the time

(When the sun sets, I will remember, when the Son sets free)

Chorus

Now is the time to bid the past goodbye

Now is the time, for heaven is nigh

And now is the time to let the Old Self die

Now, now is the time

Verse 3

The day I die, indescribable

Every tear will be wiped away

The day I die, indescribable

This Jesus-life, it begins today

Pre-Chorus

The day I die, I’ll be up and dancing

This old ghost will never breathe again

The day I die, life everlasting

This life starts when I start to live

Chorus

Now is the time to bid the past goodbye

Now is the time, for heaven is nigh

And now is the time to let the Old Self die

Now, now is the time

Now is the day I die
