East To West Chords by Casting Crowns

_ I don't know where this song finds you. _
Maybe it's a warning for you.
Maybe it's a reality. _
_ But let me encourage you.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is our Father's love for you.
And as far as the east is from the west,
so far has He cast our sin.
Look. _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[D] Here [E] I am, Lord, and [F#m] I'm drowning.
In your sea of [D] forgetfulness, the [E] chains of yesterday [F#m] surround me.
[A] I yearn for peace [D] and rest.
I don't [E] want to end up where you [F#m] found me.
[A] And it echoes in [D] my mind.
[E] It keeps me awake [D] tonight.
I _ _ _ know [F#m] He's cast my sin as far as the east is from [D] the west.
And [E] I stand before [F#m] you now as [A] though I've never [D] sinned.
But today [E] I feel like I'm [F#m] just one mistake [C#m] away
[D] from you leaving me [E] this way.
[D] Jesus, can you show me just [F#m] how far
the east [A] is from the west?
[E] Because I [Bm] can't bear to see the man I've been
[D] come rising up in me again.
[F#m] In the arms of your mercy, I [E] find rest.
Because you [Bm] know just how far the east is from the [D] west.
One scarred hand to the [F#m] other.
I _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[D] scarred [E] the day the war [F#m] begins.
Endless [A] reminding of my [D] sin.
And time [E] and time again, your [F#m] truth is drowned out
by the storm [D] I'm in.
Today [E] I feel like I'm [F#m] just one mistake away
[D] from you leaving me [E] this way.
[D] Jesus, can you [B] show me just [F#m] how far the east is from [E] the west?
_ Because I [Bm] can't bear to see the man I've been
[D] come rising up in me again.
[F#m] In the arms of your mercy, I [E] find rest.
Because you [Bm] know just how far the east is from the [D] west.
One [F#] scarred hand to the other.
[A] _ I know you've watched [C#m] me wind, turn my darkness [F#m] into light.
I need your peace [D] to get me through, to get me through [A] this night.
I can't live by what [G#m] I feel, but by the truth your word [F#m] reveals.
I'm not holding on [D] to you, but you're holding on [F#] to me.
_ _ _ [E] _ You're holding on [F#m] to me.
_ _ _ [E] Jesus, you know just [A] how far the east is from [G#m] the west.
_ Then I [F#m] don't have to see the man I've been
[D] come rising up in me again.
[A] In the arms _ _ [G#m] _ _ of your mercy, [Bm] I find rest.
Because you know just how far the east is from the [D] west.
One scarred hand to the other.
[F#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [C#m] One scarred hand [F#m] to the other.
_ _ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ One [A] scarred hand to the other.
_ [D] _ _ One scarred hand to the other.
