Intro:
[Em] [C/E] [G/D] [D] [Em] [G/D] [Bm/D] [C]
Here I am L[D]ord and I'm drown[Em]ing
In your s[G]ea of forgetfu[C]lness
The chains of yes[D]terday surround [Em]me
I yea[G]rn for peace and r[C]est
I don't want to e[D]nd up where you fo[Em]und me
And it ech[G]oes in my mi[C]nd
Keeps [D]me awake ton[C]ight
I know you've c[D]ast my sins as [Em]far
As the E[G]ast is from the W[C]est
And I st[D]and before you n[Em]ow
As th[G]ough I've never sin[C]ned but today
I fe[D]el like I'm just [Em]one mistake a[G/B]way
From you le[C]aving me this w[D]ay
[C]Jesus can you show me
Just how [Em7]far the East is fr[G]om the [Dsus]West [D]
Cause I can't b[Am]ear to see the man I've been
Come ris[C]ing up in me ag[D]ain
In the a[Em7]rms of your me[G]rcy I find r[Dsus]est [D]
Cause you know j[Am]ust how far the East is f[G/B]rom the W[C]est
From one scarred hand to the other
Instrumental
Em Dsus D (x2) C
I start the d[D]ay the war be[Em]gins
Endless rem[G]inding of my s[C]in
Time and t[D]ime again
Your T[Em]ruth is drowned out [G]by the storm I'm [C]in
Today I f[D]eel like I'm just [Em]one mistake a[G/B]way
From you lea[C]ving me this w[D]ay
[C]Jesus can you show me
Just how [Em7]far the East is f[G]rom the [Dsus]West [D]
Cause I can't b[Am]ear to see the man I've been
Come ris[C]ing up in me ag[D]ain
In the a[Em7]rms of your m[G]ercy I find [Dsus]rest [D]
Cause you know j[Am]ust how far the East is [G/B]from the W[C]est
From one scarred hand to the other
Bridge
[G]I know you've washed me w[D/F#]hite
Turned my darkness into l[Em]ight
I need your peace to [C/E]get me through
To [C]get me through this ni[G]ght
I can't live by what I f[Bm7]eel
But by the truth your word rev[Em]eals
I'm not holding on to y[C]ou
But your holding on to [Em]me [Em/D]
Your holding on to [Em7]me
[D]Jesus, you know just how f[G]ar
The East is from the [D/F#]West
I don't h[Em]ave to see the man I've been
Come r[C/E]ising up in me aga[C]in
In the a[G]rms of your mercy I find r[D#7]est
Cause you know j[Am]ust how far the East is [G/B]from the W[C]est
From one scarred hand to the other
[Em](Backgroun[Dsus]d Vocals[D])[Em] [Dsus]
[D]One scarred hand to the other[Em]
[Dsus](Backgro[D]und V[Em]ocals)
[C]From one scarred hand to the other
I hope this helps you out! Pat
