Verso

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
As though I've never sinned
But today I feel like
I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

Refrão

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
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

Ponte

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
But by the truth Your Word reveals
I'm not holding on to You
But You're holding on to me

Instrumental

You're holding onto me

Refrão

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
'Cause You know just how far
The east is from the west

Saída

From one scarred hand
To the other
