Here I am, Lord, and Im drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I dont want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know Youve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though Ive never sinned
But today I feel like Im 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 cant bear to see the man Ive 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
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm Im in
Today I feel like Im just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know Youve washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I cant live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
Im not holding on to You, but Youre holding on to me
Youre holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I dont have to see the man Ive 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
(Just how far the east is from the west, just how far)
One scarred hand to the other
(Lord, Just how far the east is from the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
