The chains of (D)yes ter day sur (Em)round me; I (G)yearn for peace and (C)rest.
I don’t want to (D)end up where You (Em)found me, and it (G)ech oes in my (C)mind, keeps (D)me a wake to (C)night.
I know You’ve (D)cast my sins as (G)far as less the east is from the (C)west, and I (D)stand be fore You (G)now as, drowned as though I’ve nev er (C)sinned.
But to day I (D)feel like I’m just (Em)one mis take a (G)way from You (C)leav ing me this (D)way.
(C)Je sus, can You show me just how (Em7)far the east is (G)from the (Dsus)west?
’Cause I can’t (Am)bear to see the man I’ve been come (C)ris ing up in me a (D)gain.
In the (Em7)arms of Your mer cy (G)I find (Dsus)rest,
’cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
I start the (D)day, the war be (G)gins, end less re mind ing of my (C)sin.
Time and (D)time a gain Your (G)truth is drowned out by the storm I’m (C)in.
But To day I (D)feel like I’m just (Em)one mis take a (G)way from You (C)leav ing me this (D)way.
(C)Je sus, can You show me just how (Em7)far the east is (G)from the (Dsus)west?

In the (Em7)arms of Your mer cy (G)I find (Dsus)rest,
’cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
(C)west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
I know You’ve washed me (D)white, turned my dark ness in to (Em)light.
I need Your peace to (C)get me through, to (C)get me through this (G)night.
I can’t live by what I (Bm7)feel, but by the truth Your Word re (Em)veals.
I’m not hold ing on to (C)You, but You’re hold ing on to (Em)me.
You’re hold ing on to (Em7)me.
Je sus, You know just how (G)far the east is from the (D)west.
I don’t (Em)have to see the man I’ve been come (C)ris ing up in (C)me a gain.
In the (G)arms of Your mer cy I find (D)rest,
’cause You know (Am)just how far the east is (G)from the (C)west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
(D)One scarred hand to the (Em)oth er.
From one scarred hand to the oth er.
