God has forgiven me

If all my sins could be written down

Representative Text

1 If all my sins could be written down,
So I might their blackness see,
No joy of earth could my sorrows drown,
But God has forgiven me.

Refrain:
He blotted them out with His precious blood,
He wash’d my sins away,
And now I belong to the Lord forever,
And he is mine today.

2 If I could measure from west to east,
To see where my sins might be,
I could not find them, the worst or least,
For God has forgiven me. [Refrain]

3 Since God remembers my sins no more,
But buried them in the sea,
I’ll sing His praises, His name adore,
For God has forgiven me. [Refrain]
