Verse 1

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            D           E          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 
   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 {tacit}
Jesus can You show me just how


Chorus

F#m      A                E
Far the east is from the west
               Bm
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D
Rising up in me again
       F#m           A            E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Bm                       F#m7      D
You know just how far the east is from the west
                              E
From one scarred hand to the other

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
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

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Bm                       F#m7      D
You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other


Bridge

A                       E
I know You've washed me white
                      F#m
Turn my darkness into light
                            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

{tacit}                   A                         E
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
        Bm
I don't have to see the man I've been
     D                    
Come rising up in me again
       A                         E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
         Bm                       F#m7      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
                        (From one scarred hand to the other)

You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far

From one scarred hand to the other ...
