Remembrance Removed

“I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12). 

Remembrance of sin is removed from God’s court,
Yet justice and judgment have surely prevailed.
The Lord still remembers the sinful report,
But all of our sins to His cross have been nailed!

Our God is the Judge, yet He justifies
The souls who will trust Him to be their Defender.
The judgment He bore on the cross satisfies
His justice for those who to Christ will surrender.

O Lord, we are sure that You’ll never forget
The judgment You bore that we surely deserved,
But now the demands of Your law have been met,
Our sins are removed, and Your justice is served!
