East To West

Here I (D)am, Lord, and I'm (Em)drowning in Your (G)sea of (C)forgetfulness.

The chains of (D)yesterday (Em)surround me;

I (G)yearn for peace and (C)rest.

I don't want to (D)end up where You (Em)found me,

and it (G)echoes in my (C)mind,

keeps (D)me awake (C)tonight.

I know You've (D)cast my sins as (G)far as less the east is from the (C)west,

and I (D)stand before You (G)now as,

drowned as though I've never (C)sinned.

But today I (D)feel like I'm just (Em)one mistake (G)away from You (C)leaving me this (D)way.

(C)Jesus, can You show me just how (Em7)far the east is (G)from the (Dsus)west?

(D)'Cause I can't (Am)bear to see the man I've been come (C)rising up in me (D)again.

In the (Em7)arms of Your mercy (G)I find (Dsus)rest,

(D)'cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west:

from one scarred hand to the other.

(C)I start the (D)day, the war (G)begins,

end less reminding of my (C)sin.

Time and (D)time again Your (G)truth is drowned out by the storm I'm (C)in.

But Today I (D)feel like I'm just (Em)one mistake (G)away from You (C)leaving me this (D)way.

(C)Jesus, can You show me just how (Em7)far the east is (G)from the (Dsus)west?

(D)'Cause I can't (Am)bear to see the man I've been come (C)rising up in me (D)again.

In the (Em7)arms of Your mercy (G)I find (Dsus)rest,

(D)'cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west:

from one scarred hand to the other.

(C)west: from one scarred hand to the other.

(G)I know You've washed me (D)white,

turned my darkness into (Em)light.

I need Your peace to (C)get me through,

to get me through this (G)night.

I can't live by what I (Bm7)feel,

but by the truth Your Word (Em)reveals.

I'm not holding on to (C)You,

but You're holding on to (Em)me.

You're holding on to (Em7)me.

(D)Jesus, You know just how (G)far the east is from the (D)west.

I don't (Em)have to see the man I've been come (C)rising up in me again.

In the (G)arms of Your mercy I find (D)rest,

'cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west:

from one scarred hand to the other.

(D)One scarred hand to the (Em)other.
