If Jesus
takes away my sins,
shall I then
take them back again?
Shall I embrace
the very cause
my Lord and Savior
suffered loss?
And of those sufferings
He went through,
the scourge, the nails,
the ridicule...
Shall I look on
that dark display,
then without shame,
just walk away?
If Jesus
takes away my sins,
shall I then take
them back again?
Oh, may it never
thus be so!
My sins, for Christ's sake,
I'll let go!
