 /  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

 /  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

From You leaving me this way 
D {tacit} 
Jesus can You show me just how

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

From one scarred hand to the other

 /  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

From You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how

A                       E 
I know You've washed me white

I need Your peace to get me through 
   D                   A 
To get me through this night

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
