Remind me of my sins;
Known or unknown to me,
Not so I can perish in guilt-
But so my heart can rejoice in this;
That you alone can redeem.

Remind me of your grace;
That saved me from the grave,
Not as though I can’t fail,
But so my heart can sing your praise
And rejoice in your saving grace.

Remind me of your love
As seen on the cross,
Not so I can boast and fall,
But so my heart can recall,
The wrath that I was worth.
