East to West- Casting Crowns

This song WRECKED me tonight... I feel like it was written about me. God knows exactly what we need, and how to speak to us. I love that intimacy of Him knowing us better than we know ourselves.

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
Idont want to end up
where you found me
and it echoes in my mind,
keeps me awake tonight

I know you cast my sin as far
as the east is from the west
and I stand before you now,
as if I've never sinned
but today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
from you leaving me this way

and 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
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
and 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 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
can't live by what I feel
but by 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
