East to West

Verse:
 D             E                           F#m
Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning  
             A                     D 
In Your sea of forgetfulness
                               E             F#m
The chains of yesterday surround me
  A                                D 
I yearn for peace and rest
                       E                          F#m
I don't want to end up where You found me
          A/C#              D                  E/G#            D
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
 
 Verse 2:
 D                      E                    F#m
I know You've cast my sin as far as
               A                       D 
As the east is from the west
                E                     F#m
And I stand before You now as
              A                         D 
As though I've never sinned
                 E                           F#m              A/C#
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
                    D                       E 
From You leaving me this way
D
Jesus can You show me just how
 
Chorus:
 F#m                 A           E
Far the east is from the west
                     Hm
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D                                  E
Rising up in me again
         F#m                         A       E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
               Hm                                   A/C#        D
You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
 
Instrumental:
 F#m     E       F#m       E
 
Verse 3:
 D              E                        F#m
I start the day, the war begins
               A                     D 
Endless reminding of my sin
               E                           F#m
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out
A                       D  
By the storm I'm in
            E                       F#m              A/C#
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
                  D                      E/G#
From You leaving me this way
D
Jesus can You show me just how
 
Chorus:
 F#m                     A           E
Far the east is from the west
                         Hm
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D                              E
Rising up in me again
         F#m                                 A       E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
                    Hm                               A/C#        D
You know just how far the east is from the west
                                  E
From one scarred hand to the other
 
Bridge:
 A                                             E/G#
I know You've washed me white
                                   F#m
Turn my darkness into light
                                       A/D
I need Your peace to get me through
     D                              A
To get me through this night
                               C#m
I can't live by what I feel
                                            F#m
About the truth Your work reveals
                                            D
And I'm not holding on to You
                                       F#m     E
But You're holding on to me
                                 F#m         E
You're holding on to me
 
Chorus:
                                             A                                 E/G#
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
                F#m
I don't have to see the man I've been
             A/D                    D
Come rising up in me again
             A                                      E/G#
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
               Hm                               A/C#        D
You know just how far the east is from the west
 From one scarred hand to the other

Ending:
 F#m         E                                  F#m                  E
(Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
                                              F#m
From one scarred hand to the other
                               E                                   F#m                 D
