Isaiah 1:18 “Come, let us discuss this,”

says the Lord.

“Though your sins are like scarlet,

they will be as white as snow;

though they are as red as crimson,

they will be like wool."

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

V. 1 I lay my sins on Jesus,

The spotless Lamb of God;

He bears them all, and frees us

From the accursed load,

From the accursed load.

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Psalm 103:3, 4 He forgives all your sin; He heals all your diseases.

He redeems your life from the Pit; He crowns you with faithful love and compassion.

Matthew 11:30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Colossians 1:19 For God was pleased to haveall His fullness dwell in Him.

V. 2 I bring my guilt to Jesus,

To wash my crimson stains

White in His blood most precious,

Till not a stain remains,

Till not a stain remains.

Luke 2:35 ... And a sword will pierce your own soul — that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

V. 3 I lay my wants on Jesus,

All fullness dwells in Him;

He healeth my diseases,

He doth my soul redeem,

He doth my soul redeem.

V. 4 I long to be with Jesus,

Meek, loving, lowly, mild;

I long to be like Jesus,

The Father's holy child, 

The Father's holy child.

V. 5 I long to be with Jesus

Amid the heav'nly throng,

To sing with them His praises,

And learn the angels' song.

And learn the angels' song.
