East To West Lyrics & Chords

By Casting Crowns

(C)Here I (D)am, Lord, and I'm (Em)drowning in your (G)sea of forgetful(C)ness 
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 me awake (D)tonight
(C)I know You've (D)cast my sin as (Em)far as the (G)east is from the (C)west
And I (D)stand before You now (Em)as (G)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 way

Chorus
(C)Jesus, can You (D)show me just how (Em)far the east is from the (A)west
'cause I can't (Am)bear to see the man I've been come (C)rising up in (D)me again
In the (Em)arms of Your mercy I find (A)rest
'cause You know (Am)just how far the east is from (C)the west
From one scarred (D)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 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, 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
You're holding on to me
