Intro: () x2 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 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 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 () on Chorus repeat From one scarred hand to the other Instrumental: Verse 3: I start the day, the war begins Endless reminding of my sin 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 Repeat Chorus Bridge: I know You've washed me white Turn 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 work reveals And I'm not holding on to You But You're holding on to me You're holding on to me Chorus (watch out, chords are different!) 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 (mercy I find rest) You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other Ending: (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
