East To West

Here I am Lord and Im drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me

I yearn for peace and rest
I dont want to end up where You found me

And it echoes in my mind keeps me awake tonight

I know Youve cast my sin
As far as the east is from the west

And I stand before You now

As though Ive never sinned
But today I feel like Im 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 cant bear to see
The man Ive 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

I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your truth is drowned out by the storm Im in
Today I feel like Im just one mistake
Away from You leaving me this way

Jesus You know just how far
The east is from the west

I dont have to see the man
Ive 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

I know you watch me why

Turned my darkness into light

I need Your peace to get me through

To get me through this night

I cant live by what I feel

But by the truth Your word reveals

Im not holding on to You

But Youre holding on to me

Youre holding on to me

Jesus You know just how far
The east is from the west

I dont have to see the man
Ive 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
