(Verse 1)
Here I am, Lord, and I’m drowning in Your sea of forgetfullness
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 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 leavin’ me this way
(Chorus)
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 risin’ 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
(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 leavin’ me this way
(Chorus)
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 risin’ 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
(Bridge)
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 holdin’ on to You, but You’re holdin’ on to me
You’re holdin’ on to me
