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 sins 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 scar[r]ed hand to the other       I start the day the war begins    Endless reminding of my sin    Time and time again    Your [T]ruth 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 scar[r]ed hand to the other       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 your holding on to me    Your holding on to me       Jesus, you know just how far    The East is from the West    I don't have to see the man I've been    Come rising up in me again    In the arms of your mercy I find rest    (The arms of your mercy I find rest)    Cause you know just how far the East is from the West    From one scar[r]ed hand to the other(x2)       (Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3)       From one scarred hand to the other
