Representative Text

1 My sins are forgiven by God above,
He blotted them out forever;
I’ve anchored my soul in His boundless love,
He blotted them out forever.

Refrain:
Forever and forever,
He blotted them out forever;
Through Jesus the Son, the Crucified One,
He blotted them out forever.

2 As far as the east is from the west,
He blotted them out forever;
He gave me a home of eternal rest,
He blotted them out forever. [Refrain]

3 I’ll tell the sweet story from day to day,
He blotted them out forever;
As happy I go on my homeward way,
He blotted them out forever. [Refrain]

4 Oh, come with your sins to the risen Lord,
He’ll blot them all out forever;
Come trust in the promises of His word,
He’ll blot them all out forever. [Refrain]
