Once I was lost
Desperate and alone
Living with the shame of all my sin
I never thought
My heart could have a song
Until the day I gave it all to him

[Chorus]
The heavy load of guilt that I once carried
Was thrown away, forgotten and buried
Under the sea, under the sea
Forever forgiven, forever redeemed
When the enemy tries to bring the memory of my failures back to me
I just remind him he can find them there under the sea

Now I am free
No more chains are holding me
My shackles have been broken
I am blessed
I can't conceive that I still believe
That through his unfailing righteousness

(Repeat Chorus)

When in praise of forgetfulness
My Savior has put all my past
Under the sea
Under the sea
Forever forgiven
Forever redeemed
When the enemy tries to bring the memory
Of my failures back to me
I just remind him (I just remind him)
He can find them there under the sea
I just remind him (I just remind him)
He can find them there under the sea
Under the sea
