East to West

It's funny how I have listened to this song over and over and never really listened to the lyrics until today. I really love this song... and now I love the lyrics too! They are very inspirational.

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 though I've never sinned

But 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 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

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

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

Kisses!
