What Sin?

by Morgan Cryar

It happened so long ago
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,

What sin? What sin?
Well, 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,

What sin? What sin?
Well, 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.

Lord, please deliver me from my accusing memory.
Nothing makes me weep this way, then when I hear You say,
What sin? What sin?
Well, 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.

What sin?  What sin?

Powerful, Kevin. 

Thanks so much.  How often we ask forgiveness but we still try to carry the burden.  This has meant so much to me today.  Oh that we might ask forgiveness and then truly believe that He has hidden it under His blood.
