Ab
It happened so long ago 
  Db7M
I cried out for mercy back then 
Fm
I plead the blood of Jesus 
Db         F     Fm      F/C
Begged Him to forgive my sins 
Ab
But I still can't forget it 
Db
It just won't go away 
   Fm
So I wept again 
Ab
"Lord, wash my sin" 
    Db               F
But this is all He'd say 

  Chorus: 
Ab          F/C
  What sin, what sin 
            Fm              Ab/F             Db   F
  That's as far away as the east is from the west 
Ab          F/C
  What sin, what sin 
         Fm            Ab/F          Db
  It was gone the very minute you confessed 
                Fsus            Ab       Cm7/F
  Buried in the sea of forgetfulness 


Ab
The heaviest thing you'll carry 
     Db
Is a load of guilt and shame 
Fm
You were never bear it 
   Db       F     Fm     F/C
So let them go in Jesus' name 
Ab
Our God is slow to anger 
Db
And quick to forgive our sin 
Fm                  Ab
So let Him put them under the blood 
      Db            Fsus    F
Don't bring them up again 

'Cause He'll just say 

      Repeat Chorus
