Thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:7

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.
Refrain
