Bb   Eb   Cm F/A

Bb
It happened so long ago
  Ebmaj7
I cried out for mercy back then
Gm
I plead the blood of Jesus
Eb         F     Gm      F/A
Begged Him to forgive my sins
Bb
But I still can't forget it
Eb
It just won't go away
   Gm
So I wept again
Bb
"Lord, wash my sin"
    Eb               F
But this is all He'd say

  CHORUS:
Bb          F/A
  What sin, what sin
            Gm              Bb/F             Eb   F
  That's as far away as the east is from the west
Bb          F/A
  What sin, what sin
         Gm            Bb/F          Eb
  It was gone the very minute you confessed
                Fsus4            Bb       Cm7/F
  Buried in the sea of forgetfulness

Bb
The heaviest thing you'll carry
     Eb
Is a load of guilt and shame
Gm
You were never bear it
   Eb       F     Gm     F/A
So let them go in Jesus' name
Bb
Our God is slow to anger
Eb
And quick to forgive our sin
Gm                  Bb
So let Him put them under the blood
      Eb            Fsus4    F
Don't bring them up again

'Cause He'll just say

        Repeat Chorus

Bridge: (much louder)
Bb   F/A   Gm   Bb/F   Eb Eb/D

Cm                Bb/D          Eb
Oh, Lord please deliver me
                  Bb/D   Cm
From my accusing memory
                 Bb/D      Eb
Nothing makes me weep this way
            Fsus4          F
Than when I hear You say

  Repeat Chorus (softer, as before)
