Lyrics
Verse 1
I've done everything
To make You turn away
I'm indebted to Your goodness
I don't deserve Your love
You took everything
And You threw it all away
I know this is forgiveness
This is the story of
Chorus
How my sins are sinking in the sea
Never to rise again
That's what You've done for me
Oh what a friend
My God You never left
Father and friend who forgives and forgets
Verse 2
I came brokenhearted
The shame of my mistakes
But You showed me Your compassion
You're worthy of my trust
Every condemnation
That tried to change my name
There's a reason I don't answer
Tell them the story of
Chorus
How my sins are sinking in the sea
Never to rise again
That's what You've done for me
Oh what a friend
My God You never left
Father and friend who forgives and forgets
Bridge 1
The story that You wrote
And the story that I know
Are not the same
God You righted every wrong
Mercy is my only song
I give You praise
Chorus
Be cause my sins are sinking in the sea
Never to rise again
That's what You've done for me
Oh what a friend
My God You never left
Father and friend who forgives and forgets
Bridge 2
Way in over my head
With debt I couldn't pay
But You forgot about it
Yes You forgot about it
Mercy's new every morning
Why stay in yesterday
When You forgot about it
Yes You forgot about it
Refrain
You forgot about it
You forgot about it
You forgot about it
Yes you forgot about it
Bridge 2
Way in over my head
With debt I couldn't pay
But You forgot about it
Yes You forgot about it
Mercy's new every morning
Why stay in yesterday
When You forgot about it
Yes You forgot about it
Chorus
Sinking in the sea
Never to rise again
That's what You've done for me
Oh what a friend
My God You never left
Father and friend who forgives and forgets
