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 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 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 Repeat Chorus Bridge: (much louder) 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) (Ending chords)
