From East to West Lyrics

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 wayChorus:
Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west
Cause I cant bear to see the man Ive been
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 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 Im in

Today I feel like Im just one mistake away
from You leaving me this wayI know Youve washed me white
Turn my darkness into life
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I cant live by what I feel
About the truth Your word reveals
Im not holding on to You
But Youre holding on to me
Youre holding on to me
