From 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
Chorus:
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 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
I 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
