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
Rising up in me again
In 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 other
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 Im in
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 know Youve washed me white
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
About the truth Your word reveals
And Im not holding onto You
But Youre holding onto me
Youre holding onto me
Jesus, You know just how far the East is from the West
I don't have to see the man Ive been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
You know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other
(Just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
(You know just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
