Lyrics

I came by faith to Cal­va­ry’s side,
My sins are all tak­en away;
And plunged be­neath its crim­son tide,
My sins are all tak­en away.

Refrain

My sins are all tak­en away,
My sins are all tak­en away;
He will men­tion them no more for ev­er,
My sins are all tak­en away.

I left them all be­hind the cross,
My sins are all tak­en away;
And earth­ly wealth I count but dross,
My sins are all tak­en away.

Refrain

He ne­ver will for­sake His own,
My sins are all tak­en away;
And I will see Him on the throne,
My sins are all tak­en away.

Refrain

And now I will for­ev­er sing,
My sins are all tak­en away;
That Je­sus is my Sav­ior, king,
My sins are all tak­en away.
