From East to West
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
'cause 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
I know you've washed me white
Turn my darkness into life
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
I'm not holding on to you
But you're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
