[F#m] [A]
[F#m] [A]
[D] Here I am Lord [F#m] and I'm drowning [E] in your sea of [D] forgetfulness.
The [E] chains of yesterday [F#m] surround me.
I yearn for [D] peace and rest.
I [E] don't want to end up where [F#m] you found me.
And it echoes [D] in my mind, keeps me awake tonight.
I [A] know [D] [E] you've cast my [F#m] sin as far as [A] the east is [D] from the west.
[A] And I stand before [F#m] you now [A] as though I've [D] never sinned.
But [E] today I feel like [F#m] I'm just one mistake [C#m] away [D] from you leaving me [E] this way.
[D] Jesus can you show me [F#m] just how far the east is [E] from the west?
Cause [Bm] I can't bear to see the man I've [D] been.
You're rising up in me again.
[F#m] In the arms of your mercy I [A] find rest.
[E] Cause [Bm] you know just how far the east is [D] from the west.
From one scarred hand to the [F#m] other.
[A]
[E] [F#m] [A]
[E] [D] I [E] start the day the [F#m] war begins.
[A] Endless reminding of [D] my sin.
[E] Time and time again [F#m] your truth is [E] drowned out by the storm [D] I'm in.
Today [E] I feel like [F#m] I'm just one mistake [C#m] away [D] from you leaving me [E] this way.
[A] Jesus can you show me just [F#m] how far the east is [E] from the west?
Cause I [Bm] can't bear to see the man I've [D] been.
I'm rising up in me [F#m] again.
In the arms of your mercy I [E] find rest.
Cause you [Bm] know just how far the east is from [D] the west.
From [B] one scarred hand to the [A] other.
I know you've watched [C#m] me whine.
Turned my darkness [F#m] into light.
I need your [D] peace to get me through.
To get me through [A] this night.
I can't live by what [C#m] I feel.
But by the truth your [F#m] word reveals.
That I'm not holding on [D] to you.
But you're holding [F#m] on to me.
