East To West

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning In your sea of forgetfulness The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where you found me And it echoes in my mind Keeps me awake tonight I know you've cast my sin as far As the east is from the west And I stand before you now As though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From you leaving me this way Jesus, can you show me just how far the east is from the west? 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been Rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other I start the day, the war begins Endless reminding of my sin And time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From you leaving me this way Jesus, can you show me just how far the east is from the west? 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been Rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other 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 And I'm not holding onto you But you're holding onto me You're holding onto me Jesus, you know just how far the east is from the west? I don't have to see the man I've been Rising up in me again In the arms of your mercy I find rest You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far From one scarred hand to the other You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far From one scarred hand to the other
