|
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 |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
|
'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 I'm in |
|
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away |
|
from You leaving me this way |
|
I know You've washed me white |
|
Turn my darkness into life |
|
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 |
|
I'm not holding on to You |
|
But You're holding on to me |
|
You're holding on to me |
