East To West Casting Crowns
Intro: Am G Am Gsus G
Verse I
[F]Here I [G(add4)] am, Lord, and I'm [Am] drowning in Your [Cmaj7] sea of forgetfulness.
[F]The chains of [G(add4)]yesterday sur- [Am] round me; I [Cmaj7] yearn for peace and rest.
[F]I don't want to [G(add4)] end up where Yo[Am]u found me, and [Cmaj7]it echoes in my mind,
[F]keeps [G(add4)]me awake to- [F] night.
I know You've cast my sin as far as the East is from the West,
and I stand before You now 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]Jesus, can You show me just how
[Am]Far the East is [C] from th[Gsus]e West?[G]
[Dm7]'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been [F]arising up in me [G] again.
[Am]In the arms of Your mercy [C]I find [Gsus] rest,[G]
[Dm7]'cause You know just how far the East is from the West,
[F]from one scarred hand to the other.
Verse 2
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 Your leaving me this way.
Bridge:
[C]I know You've washed me white,
[G/B]turned my darkness into light
[Am7]I need Your peace to [F/A]get me through
[F]get me though this night
[C]I can't live by what I feel,
[Em7]but by the truth Your word reveals
[Am7]I'm not holding on to You,
[F]but You're holding onto me.
[Am] [Gsus]
[G]You're holding on to me
[Am]Chorus II (chords are different this time)
[G]Jesus, You know just how
[C]far the East is from the West
[G/B]'Cause I don't [Am]have to see the man I've been
[F/A]rising up in [F]me again.
[C]In Your arms of your mercy I find rest,
[G/B]'cause You know [Dm7]just how far the East is from the West,
[F]from one scarred hand to the other
[Am] [Gsus] [G]
[Am] [Gsus]
[G]One scarred hand to the other
[Am] [Gsus] [G]
[Am]
[F]From one scarred hand to the other.
