Psalm 103:10-12 He has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities, for as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. [N.B. The north pole is a measured distance from the south pole, but there is no way to measure the east from the west.]
Micah 7:18-19 Who is a God like unto Thee, who pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retains not His anger for ever, because He delights in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion on us,He will subdue our iniquities. Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Isaiah 43:25. I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Many have wanted to sing to the Lord in remembrance of His great love, mercy, and forgiveness. Here are a few “oldies” which never lose their appeal –
Gone, gone, gone, gone, yes my sins have gone!
Now my soul is free and in my heart’s a song!
Buried in the deepest sea, yes, that’s good enough for me!
I shall live eternally, praise God, my sins have gone!Helen Griggs 1936
Down in the depths of the deepest sea,
Lie all the sins once charged to me.
Buried for time and eternity,
Down in the deepest sea.Norman J. Clayton. 1945
I’m so happy and here’s the reason why,
Jesus took my burden all away!
Now I’m singing as the days go by,
Jesus took my burden all away!
Once my heart was heavy with a load of sin,
Jesus took the load and gave me peace within,
Now I’m happy and that’s the reason why,
Jesus took my burden all away.Stanton W. Gavitt. 1936
You ask me why I’m happy, so I’ll just tell you why,
Because my sins are gone!
And when I meet the scoffers, who ask me where they are
I say, my sins are gone!
They’re underneath the blood, on the cross of Calvary,
As far removed as darkness is from dawn;
In the sea of God’s forgetfulness, that’s good enough for me,
Praise God, my sins are gone!N.B.Vandall. 1934
Finally, remember that on the shore of God’s ocean of forgetfulness, there is a notice saying
“No Fishing”
