East To West

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west And I stand before You now as As though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away From You leaving me this way [Chorus] 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 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Bridge] 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 But You're holding on to me [Chorus] 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 [Outro] One scarred hand to the other From one scarred hand to the other
