He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor requite us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is His steadfast love
       toward those who fear Him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does He remove
      our transgressions from us.

                        Psalm 103. 10-12

(that is what grace is all about)
