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
