Lyrics:

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 though I've never sinned

But today I feel like I'm 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 can't bear to see the man I've 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 I'm in

Today I feel like I'm 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 can't bear to see the man I've 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 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

About the truth your word reveals

And I'm not holding onto you

But you're holding onto me

You're holding onto me

Jesus, you know just how far the east is from the west?

I don't have to see the man I've 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

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

"East To West"
