East To West Lyrics - The Altar And The Door - Casting Crowns

EAST TO WEST 

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 

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
