It happened so long ago

And I cried out for mercy back then
I plead the blood of Jesus
Begged him to forgive my sin

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

CHORUS


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 meant to bear them
So let them go in Jesus' name

Our God is slow to anger
Quick to forgive our sin
So let Him put them under the blood

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


REPEAT CHORUS

Lord, please deliver me

From my accusing memory
Nothing makes me weep this way,
Then when I hear you say


REPEAT CHORUS
