It happened so long ago
I cried out for mercy back then
I plead the blood of Jesus
Begged Him to forgive my sins
But I still can't forget it
It just won't go away
So I wept again
"Lord, wash my sin"
But this is all He'd say
What sin, what sin
That's as far away as the east is from the west
What sin, what sin
It was gone the very minute you confessed
Buried in the sea of forgetfulness
The heaviest thing you'll carry
Is a load of guilt and shame
You were never bear it
So let them go in Jesus' name
Our God is slow to anger
And quick to forgive our sin
So let Him put them under the blood
Don't bring them up again
'Cause He'll just say
Oh, Lord please deliver me
From my accusing memory
Nothing makes me weep this way
Than when I hear You say
Repeat Chorus (softer, as before)
