Verse 1

C         D                 Em
 /  Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning  
        G               C      
In Your sea of forgetfulness
              D            Em
The chains of yesterday surround me
  G                   C             
I yearn for peace and rest
                 D               Em
I don't want to end up where You found me
       G            C           D          C
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight


Verse 2

C                 D              Em
 /  I know You've cast my sin as far as
       G                C
As the east is from the west
      D                Em
And I stand before You now 
   G                 C
As though I've never sinned
            D                  Em          G/B
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
         C               D
From You leaving me this way
C {tacit}
Jesus can You show me just how


Chorus

Em      G                D
Far the east is from the west
               Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
C
Rising up in me again
       Em           G            D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Am                       Em7      C
You know just how far the east is from the west
                              D
From one scarred hand to the other

Verse 3

C                D            Em
 /  I start the day, the war begins
          G             C
Endless reminding of my sin
         D               Em
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out
G                C
By the storm I'm in
        D                  Em          G/B
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
         C               D
From You leaving me this way
C
Jesus can You show me just how


Chorus

Em      G                D
Far the east is from the west
               Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
C
Rising up in me again
       Em           G            D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Am                       Em7      C
You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other


Bridge

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


Chorus

{tacit}                   G                         D
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
        Am
I don't have to see the man I've been
     C                    
Come rising up in me again
       G                         D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Am                       Em7      C
