Standard (EADGBE)

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)
