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 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
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 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 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, about the truth Your word reveals
And I’m not holding onto You
But You’re holding onto me
You’re holding onto 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 (mercy I find rest)
You know just how far the East is from the West, from one scarred hand to the other
(Just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
(You know just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
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 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
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 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

(Just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
(You know just how far, the East is from the West, Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
i love songs.
they have a morbidly beautiful and accurate way of depicting emotions, desires..
close your eyes and the stimmung inspires you. the perfect mise-en-scène, the use of chiaroscuro lighting - you see in your mind the scene the music stirs in you arises from the foggy floor of your fictituous santuary.
now you know how i feel.
