Here I am Lord and I’m drowning, in Your sea of forgetfulness
My chains of yesterday surround, I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up were You found me
And it echoes in my mind
It keeps me awake tonight
I know You’ve cast my sins as far as, the East is from the West
And I stand before You now, as though I’ve never sinned
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way
Jesus can You show me just how
~Chorus~
F-ar the East is from the West
‘Cause I can’t bare to see the man I’ve been, risin’ up with me again
And in the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘Cause You know just how far the East is from the West
From one scared hand to the oth-er
I start the day the war begins
And less reminding of my sins
When time and time again Your truth is drowned out by this 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
~Chorus~
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 it feel
But by the truth Your word reveals
And I’m not holding on to You
But You’re holding on to m-e
You’re holding on to m-e
Jesus You know just how
~Chorus~
(Just how far, the East is from the West)
(Just how f-ar)
One scared hand to the oth-er
(2X)
