1st Verse
D        E(add4)            F#m
Here I am LORD and I'm drowning
        Amaj7
In Your sea of forgetfullness.
D                E(add4)   F#m
The chains of yesterday surround me,
        Amaj7
I yearn for peace and rest.
D               E(add4)               F#m
I don't want to end up where you found me,
       Amaj7
And it echoes in my mind,
D     E(add4)           D
Keeps me awake tonight.
Second Verse
D                E(add4)         F#m  
I know You've cast my sins as far as, 
        Amaj7
The east is from the west,
D          E(add4)         F#m
And I stand before you now,
   Amaj7
As though I've never sinned.
D              E(add4)        F#m               Amaj7/C#
But today I feel like im just one mistake away,
         D
From you leaving me this way.
Chorus
D
Jesus can you show me just how
F#m             A             Esus4  E
Far the east is from the west?
          
              Bm7
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D                          E
Come rising up in me again.
       F#m                 A         Esus4  E
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
                  Bm7
Cause you know just how far the east is from the west
D
From one scarred hand to the other.
F#m  Esus4  E F#m  Esus4 E
Third Verse
D              E(add4)         F#m
I start the day the war begins,
           Amaj7
Endless reminding of my sin.
D           E(add4)          F#m
Time and time again your truth
                      Amaj7
Is drowned out by the storm I'm in.
D              E(add4)        F#m               Amaj7/C#
But today I feel like im just one mistake away,
         D
From you leaving me this way.

Far the east is from the west?
          
              Bm7
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D                          E
Come rising up in me again.
       F#m                 A         Esus4  E
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
                  Bm7
Cause you know just how far the east is from the west

A                             E/G#
I know You've washed me white.
                              F#m7
Turned my darkness into light.
                        D/F#    
I need Your peace to get me through,
D                         A
Get me through this night.
                            C#m7
I can't live by what I feel,
                                   F#m7
But by the truth Your Word reveals.
                          D
I'm not holding on to you,
                          F#m  Esus4
But your holding on to me.
       E                F#m
You're holding on to me.
