1st Verse
[D]Here I am[E(add4)] LORD and I'm drown[F#m]ing
In Your [Amaj7]sea of forgetfullness.
[D]The chains of yes[E(add4)]terday sur[F#m]round me,
I yearn [Amaj7]for peace and rest.
[D]I don't want to [E(add4)]end up where you found[F#m] me,
And it [Amaj7]echoes in my mind,
[D]Keeps [E(add4)]me awake tonight.[D]
Second Verse
[D]I know You've cas[E(add4)]t my sins as far[F#m] as,
The east[Amaj7] is from the west,
[D]And I stand[E(add4)] before you now,[F#m]
As [Amaj7]though I've never sinned.
[D]But today I fee[E(add4)]l like im just [F#m]one mistake away,[Amaj7/C#]
From you [D]leaving me this way.
Chorus
[D]Jesus can you show me just how
[F#m]Far the east is [A]from the west?[Esus] [E]
Cause I can't [Bm7]bear to see the man I've been
[D]Come rising up in me again.[E]
In the [F#m]arms of your mercy I[A] find rest[Esus] [E]
Cause you know jus[Bm7]t how far the east is from the west
[D]From one scarred hand to the other.

[D]I start the day[E(add4)] the war begins,[F#m]
Endless rem[Amaj7]inding of my sin.
[D]Time and tim[E(add4)]e again your trut[F#m]h
Is drowned out by the [Amaj7]storm I'm in.
[D]But today I fee[E(add4)]l like im just [F#m]one mistake away,[Amaj7/C#]
From you [D]leaving me this way.
Chorus
[D]Jesus can you show me just how
[F#m]Far the east is [A]from the west?[Esus] [E]

In the [F#m]arms of your mercy I[A] find rest[Esus] [E]
Cause you know jus[Bm7]t how far the east is from the west
[D]From one scarred hand to the other.
Bridge
[A]I know You've washed me white.[E/G#]
Turned my darkness into light.[F#m7]
I need Your peace to get[D/F#] me through,
[D]Get me through this night.[A]
I can't live by what I feel,[C#m7]
But by the truth Your Word reveals.[F#m7]
I'm not holding on to you,[D]
But your holding on to me.[F#m] [Esus]
You're [E]holding on to me.[F#m]
