East To West

[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
As though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm 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 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]
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]
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 holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
But You're holding on to me

[Chorus]
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
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

[Outro]
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
