Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

I 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 sinned
But today I feel like
I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

Chorus 1

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

Verse 3

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 leaving me this way

Chorus 1

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

Bridge 1

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

Bridge 2

I 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

Chorus 2

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
You know just how far
The east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
