East to West Lyrics


Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and restI don't want to end up
Where You found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonightI 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 sinnedBut today I feel like
I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this wayJesus, 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 againIn 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 otherI 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 inToday I feel like
I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this wayJesus, 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 againIn 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 otherI know You've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this nightI 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 meJesus, 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 againIn 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 otherJust how far
The east is from the west
Just how far
From one scarred hand to the otherYou know just how far
The east is from the west
Just how far
From one scarred hand to the other

Casting Crowns is a Christian band that employs a soft rock music style. The band was created by youth pastor Mark Hall who also serves as a lead vocalist. The band previously served and performed in a youth group in Atlanta.

Discovered by, among others, contemporary Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns got a recording contract and vaulted to popularity in 2003 with songs such as If We Are The Body and Who Am I. The Until The Whole World Hears Songfacts reports that Casting Crown's 2009 Until The Whole World Hears album recorded 167,000 sales in its first week, the largest selling debut week sales figures by a Christian artist in Nielsen Soundscan history.

Casting Crown's fifth album, The Well, was released on October 18, 2011. According to The Well Songfacts, as with previous records, it draws inspiration from the band's ministry efforts at its home church, Eagles Landing Baptist Church outside of Atlanta, where Mark Hall serves as youth pastor.

Before Casting Crowns was created they were known as New Life Rookies which split into two bands, one being Casting Crowns and the other a smaller band South Avenue.
