It happened so long ago

I cried out for mercy back then

It just won't go away
Gm

"Lord, wash my sin"
Eb F
But this is all He'd say
Bb F/A
What sin, what sin
Gm Bb/F Eb F
That's as far away as the east is from the west
Bb F/A
What sin, what sin
Gm Bb/F Eb
It was gone the very minute you confessed
Bb Cm7/F
Buried in the sea of forgetfulness

The heaviest thing you'll carry

Is a load of guilt and shame

You were never bear it
Eb F Gm F/A
So let them go in Jesus' name

Our God is slow to anger

Don't bring them up again
'Cause He'll just say
