East To West
By Mark Hall of Casting Crowns
From the album
The Altar and The Door

Capo 2

Intro:
(        D) x2

Verse 1:
                     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

Verse 2:
                             I know You've cast my sin as far as
                                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 leaving me this way
Jesus can You show me just how

Chorus:
                           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
                            (D) on chorus repeat
From one scarred hand to the other

Instrumental:
                  
Verse 3:
                        I start the day, the war begins
                                   Endless reminding of my sin
                               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

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
                                    I know You've washed me white
                                   Turn 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 work reveals
                                        And I'm not holding on to You
                                           But You're holding on to me
                                          You're holding on to me

Chorus (watch out, chords are different!)
                                                                        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

Ending:
                                                            (Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
                                              From one scarred hand to the other
