Here i am lord and im drowning, in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me, i yearn for peace and rest
I dont want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight
I know youve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And i stand before you now as though ive never sinned
But today i feel like im just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way

Chorus:
Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west
Cause i cant bear to see the man ive been
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
And time and time again
Your truth is drowned out by the storm im in
Today i feel like im just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way

I know youve washed me white
Turn my darkness into life
I need your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I cant live by what i feel
About the truth your word reveals
Im not holding on to you
But youre holding on to me
Youre holding on to me
