My Sins Are All Taken Away
Words: J. B. PoundsMusic: J. B. Pounds
1I was sad and death my soul of its sorrows,
My sins are all taken away;
There will be no more sorrow for me,
My sins are all taken away.
RefrainThey are all taken away,
I They are all taken away,
They are all taken away,
I am resting in the cross.
2At the foot of the cross they're lying,
My sins are all taken away;
Once they wor - ried and made me sad,
My sins are all taken away.
3From the pow - er of sin and self set free,
My sins are all taken away;
Now the sweet and good of God I see,
My sins are all taken away.
4For the pow - er of grace in Jesus my pow - er,
My sins are all taken away;
I will walk in the light of God's love,
My sins are all taken away.
