Forgiven and Forgotten

FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN Forgiven and forgotten--all my sin and all its shame; It happened in that moment I called on Jesus’ name. Forgiven and forgotten by God’s great grace Divine, And now a new, clean record has finally become mine. Forgiven and forgotten, though it’s not done by me; I may still oft remember, but He forgot through Calvary. Forgiven and forgotten by others might not be, But God forgave, forgot them; that’s good enough for me! Forgiven and forgotten--yes, it is true, I know, The blood of Jesus shed there has made it ever so. Forgiven and forgotten each time that I confess When I would slip and stumble beneath the load and stress. Forgiven and forgotten--oh, how I praise His name, For when I stand before Him those sins won’t bring me shame! Forgiven and forgotten, and some day I will, too, Forget those sins forever in the land beyond the blue.
