Lyrics

What a won­drous mes­sage in God’s Word!
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!
If I trust in His re­deem­ing blood,
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!

Refrain

My sins are blot­ted out, I know!
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!
They are bur­ied in the depths of the deep­est sea;
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!

Once my heart was black, but now what joy,
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!
I have peace that no­thing can de­stroy,
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!

Refrain

I shall stand some day be­fore my king,
My sins all blot­ted out, I know!
With the ran­somed host I then shall sing:
My sins are blot­ted out, I know!
