East to West-Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns also deals with the idea of forgiven sins. In their song East to West, they explain why our sins are forgiven:
 
I know You’ve washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can’t live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I‘m not holding on to You, but You’re holding on to me
You’re holding on to me

Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don’t have to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other

Because Jesus gave His life for ours, our sin was paid for through His death. They are removed from us as far as east from west:

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12

If you start traveling east, and continue traveling east, you will never go west. And vice verses. Therefore, your sin will never find you again because of Jesus.
