This song is Track 7 on the Album "Thrive." I went and saw Casting Crowns the day this
album was released, and they played this song. I can't say that it's 100% accurate, it is
pretty close though. If you spot anything wrong either send me an email, or post in the
comments and I'll try to fix it.
This song is in standard tuning with a Capo on the 3rd fret. This is how they play it.
You can remove the Capo, or move it up/down the neck to fit your vocal range.
Notes: For the verse. If you listen to the song you will hear that they play two sets of
6 evenly placed downstrokes on the "G" "G/E" and "Em7", and on the last downstroke of
each set you play the "A" sting (5th string) open. (e.g. on the last stroke of "G" you
will play 300022, instead of 320022) Also, the last time you strum A7sus4 in a
sequence it usually sounds good to drop your pinky and play "-02033" for added embellishment.

NOTE: For picking pattern on first three lines of the Outro.
I pick the Two low notes of the Chord, and then strum the two
high notes using a DUDUD pattern. It sounds very close to the
original way it's played. (You do have to play Em7, not Em,
otherwise it won't sound right.)This Is Now Chords by Casting Crowns
