You ask me why I'm happy
So I'll just tell you why
Because my sins are gone
And when I meet the scoffers
Who ask me where they are
I say, my sins are gone.
Chorus
They're underneath the Blood
On the Cross of Calvary
As far removed as darkness is from dawn
In the sea of God's forgetfulness
That's good enough for me
Praise God, my sins are gone.
'Twas at the old-time altar
Where God came in my heart
And now my sins are gone
The Lord took full possession
The devil did depart
I'm glad my sins are gone.
When Satan comes to tempt me
And tries to make me doubt
I say, my sins are gone
You got me into trouble
But Jesus got me out
I'm glad my sins are gone.
I'm living now for Jesus
I'm happy night and day
Because my sins are gone
My soul is filled with music
With all my heart I say
I know my sins are gone
