you ask why i am happy

You ask why I am 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
