Lyrics
Here I am, Lord, and I’m drown ing in Your (A)sea of for get ful ness.
The chains of yes ter day sur round me; I (A)yearn for peace and rest.
I don’t want to (E)end up where You found me, and it (A)ech oes in my mind,
keeps (E)me a wake to night.
I know You’ve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west, and I stand be fore You now as, as (A)though I’ve nev er sinned.
But to day I feel like I’m just (F#m)one mis take a way
from You (D)leav ing me this way.
(D)Je sus, can You show me just how (F#m7)far
the east is (A)from the west?
’Cause I can’t (Bm)bear to see the man I’ve been come (D)ris ing up in me a gain.
In the (F#m7)arms of Your mer cy I find rest,
’cause You know just how far the east is (A)from the west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
I start the day, the war be gins, end less re mind ing of my sin.
Time and time a gain Your truth is drowned out (A)by the storm I’m in.
To day I feel like I’m just (F#m)one mis take a way
from You (D)leav ing me this way.
(D)Je sus, can You show me just how
from one scarred (E)hand to the oth er.
I know You’ve washed me white,
turned my dark ness in to light.
I need Your peace to get me through, to (D)get me through this night.
I can’t live by what I feel,
but by the truth Your Word re veals.
I’m not hold ing on to You, but You’re hold ing on to me.
You’re hold ing on to me.
Je sus, You know just how (A)far
the east is from the west.
I don’t (F#m7)have to see the man I’ve been come (D)ris ing up in me a gain.
In the (A)arms of Your mer cy I find rest,
’cause You know just how far the east is (A)from the west: from one scarred hand to the oth er.
(E)One scarred hand to the (F#m7)oth er.
From one scarred hand to the oth er.
