East To West

Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in Your sea of forgetfulness The chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where You found me And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west And I stand before You now as, as though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leavin' me this way Jesus, 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 risin' 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 And time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today, I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leavin' me this way Jesus, 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 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've washed me white, turned my darkness into light I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your Word reveals I'm not holdin' on to You, but You're holdin' on to me You're holdin' on to me Jesus, 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 again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (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 Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far 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
