Lyrics
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
How far the east is from the west
How far the east is from the west
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is to the west
And I stand before You now as though I'm in sin
Today I feel like I'm 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 can't bear to see the man I've been rising up in me again
How far the east is from the west
How far the east is from the west
How far the east is from the west
In the arms of Your mercy I found 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 reminders of my sins
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
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 rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I found rest
Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
How far the east is from the west
How far the east is from the west
