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
