[00:15.62] Here I am
[00:16.87] Lord and I'm drowning
[00:19.09] In Your sea of forgetfulness
[00:21.79] The chains of yesterday surround me
[00:25.94] I yearn for peace and rest
[00:28.31] I don't want to end up
[00:30.03] Where You found me
[00:32.30] And it echoes in my mind
[00:35.15] Keeps me awake tonight
[00:41.62] I know You've cast my sin as far as
[00:45.45] The east is from the west
[00:47.93] And I stand before You now
[00:51.43] As though I've never sinned
[00:54.33] But today
[00:54.99] I feel like
[00:56.25] I'm just one mistake away
[00:57.97] From You leaving me this way
[01:04.18] Jesus, can You show me just how far
[01:08.23] The east is from the west?'
[01:11.10] Cause I can't bear to see the man
[01:15.68] I've beenRising up in me again
[01:19.99] In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
[01:26.27] You know just how far
[01:28.19] The east is from the west
[01:31.25] From one scarred hand to the other
[01:46.70] I start the day, the war begins
[01:50.53] Endless reminding of my sin
[01:53.96] And time and time again
[01:58.05] Your truth is drowned out by the storm
[01:59.45] I'm inToday
[02:00.86] I feel like
[02:02.18] I'm just one mistake away
[02:06.15] From You leaving me this way
[02:08.69] Jesus, can You show me just how far
[02:11.86] The east is from the west?'
[02:19.21] Cause I can't bear to see the man
[02:21.19] I've beenCome rising up in me again
[02:25.87] In the arms of
[02:27.13] Your mercy
[02:28.33] I find rest'
[02:31.73] Cause You know just how far
[02:33.60] The east is from the west
[02:36.68] From one scarred hand to the other
[02:40.61] I know You've washed me white
[02:43.52] Turned my darkness into light
[02:46.40] I need Your peace to get me through
[02:50.37] To get me through this night
[02:52.90] I can't live by what
[02:55.16] I feelAbout the truth
[02:57.42] Your word reveals
[02:59.48] And I'm not holding onto
[03:02.01] YouBut You're holding onto me,
[03:12.30] You're holding onto me
[03:15.94] Jesus, You know just how far
[03:18.37] The east is from the west
[03:23.26] I don't have to see the man
[03:26.74] I've beenCome rising up in me again
[03:31.21] In the arms of
[03:32.52] Your mercy
[03:33.78] I find rest'
[03:37.22] Cause You know just how far
[03:38.94] The east is from the west
[03:42.18] From one scarred hand to the other
[03:45.96] Just how far
[03:48.44] The east is from the west
[03:52.42] Just how far
[03:56.20] From one scarred hand to the other
[03:58.89] You know just how far
[04:02.35] The east is from the west
[04:05.59] Just how far
[04:10.20] From one scarred hand to the other
