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, as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leavin' 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 risin' 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 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
And 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
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
How far the east is from the west?
How far the east is from the west?
