Ab5
It happened so long ago 
  Db5
I cried out for mercy back then 
F5
I plead the blood of Jesus 
Db5         F5     F5      F5
Begged Him to forgive my sins 
Ab5
But I still can't forget it 
Db5
It just won't go away 
   F5
So I wept again 
Ab5
"Lord, wash my sin" 
    Db5               F5
But this is all He'd say 

  Chorus: 
Ab5          F5
  What sin, what sin 
            F5              Ab5             Db5   F5
  That's as far away as the east is from the west 
Ab5          F5
  What sin, what sin 
         F5            Ab5          Db5
  It was gone the very minute you confessed 
                F5            Ab5       C5
  Buried in the sea of forgetfulness 


Ab5
The heaviest thing you'll carry 
     Db5
Is a load of guilt and shame 
F5
You were never bear it 
   Db5       F5     F5     F5
So let them go in Jesus' name 
Ab5
Our God is slow to anger 
Db5
And quick to forgive our sin 
F5                  Ab5
So let Him put them under the blood 
      Db5            F5    F5
Don't bring them up again 

'Cause He'll just say 

      Repeat Chorus

C5                Ab5          Db5
Oh, Lord please deliver me 
                  Ab5   C5
From my accusing memory 
                 Ab5      Db5
Nothing makes me weep this way 
            F5          F5
Than when I hear You say 

  Repeat Chorus (softer, as before)
