Lyrics

I came to Je­sus, wea­ry, worn, and sad.
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
And now His love has made my heart so glad,
He took my sins away.

Refrain

He took my sins away, He took my sins away,
And keeps me sing­ing every day!
I’m so glad He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.

The load of sin was more than I could bear.
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
And now on Him I roll my ev­ery care,
He took my sins away.

Refrain

No con­dem­na­tion have I in my heart,
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
His per­fect peace He did to me im­part,
He took my sins away.

Refrain

If you will come to Je­sus Christ to­day,
He’ll take your sins away,
He’ll take your sins away,
And keep you hap­py in His love each day,
He’ll take your sins away.
