   Here I am Lord and I'm drowning, in Your sea of forgetfulness
              E            F#m      F#m7/A      A/C#        D          
The chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest
                E               F#m               E            D          
I don't want to end up where You found me, and it echoes in my mind
      E          D
Keeps me awake tonight
D               E             F#m         A              D                  
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west 
      E               F#m         A                 D          
And I stand before You now as� as though I've never sinned
             E                F#m          C#m            D               E E          
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way


Chorus 1
D                              F#m            F#m7/A      E          
Jesus can You show me just how, far the east is from the west
               Bm                                 D            E          
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again    
       F#m              F#m7/A    E          
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
                Bm                      A/C#       D          
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
                 (E � when going into bridge)          
From one scarred hand to the other

D              E           F#m            F#m7/A          D          
  I start the day the war begins endless reminding of my sin
          E             F#m                 F#m7/A             D          
Time and time again Your Truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
         E                F#m          C#m              D            E
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way


Bridge
A                         E/G#                           F#m            
  I know You've washed me white� turned my darkness into light
                    D/F#                 D                   A            
I need Your peace to get me through� to get me through this night
                       C#m                                F#m            
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your Word reveals
                      D                            F#m   E                  
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
                    F#m       E 
You're holding on to me


Chorus 2(different than chorus 1)
E                       A                       E/G#          
Jesus You know just how far the east is from the west
              F#m                                D/F#          D

In the arms of Your Mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
                Bm                      A/C#      D
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
                                   F#m       
From one scarred Hand to the other 
           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
(You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
                                   D
From one scarred Hand to the other
