Casting Crowns - East to West: chords

D        E                F#m
Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning
        A                D
In Your sea of forgetfulness
               E           F#m
The chains of yesterday surround me
  A                     D
I yearn for peace and rest
                E                F#m
I don't want to end up where You found me
       A             D           E          D
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, as though
I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

Chorus:
F#m              A        E
Far the east is from the west
               Bm
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
 D
Rising up in me again
       F#m                A       E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Bm                                 D
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

Chorus

A                       E/G#
I know You've washed me white
                      F#m
Turn my darkness into light
                     D/F#
I need Your peace to get me through
    D                   A
To get me through this night
                       C#m
I can't live by what I feel
                          F#m
About the truth Your work reveals
                           D
And I'm not holding on to You
                         F#m E
But You're holding on to me
                     F#m E
You're holding on to me

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
'Cause You know just how far the east is
from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

(Just how far, the east is from the west,
just how far)
One scarred hand to the other
(You know just how far, the east is
from the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
