By Mark Hall of Casting Crowns From the album The Altar and The Door [Intro] Em G D Em G D [Verse 1]
C/E      D/F#             Em
  Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning

        G               C/E
In Your sea of forgetfulness

              D/F#         Em
The chains of yesterday surround me

  G                   C/E
I yearn for peace and rest

                D                Em
I don't want to end up where You found me

       G/B          C           D/F#       C
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
[Verse 2]
C/E             D/F#           Em
  I know You've cast my sin as far as

       G                C/E
As the east is from the west

      D/F#             Em
And I stand before You now as

    G                      C/E
As though I've never sinned

             D                 Em           G/B
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away

         C               D/F#
From You leaving me this way

C
Jesus can You show me just how
[Chorus]
Em              G        D
Far the east is from the west

               Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been

     C
Come rising up in me again

       Em                 G      D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

                Am                                   C
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other [Instrumental] Em D Em D [Verse 3]
C/E           D/F#           Em
  I start the day, the war begins

          G             C/E
Endless reminding of my sin

         D/F#            Em
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out

G                C/E
By the storm I'm in

        D                  Em            G/B
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away

         C               D/F#
From You leaving me this way

C
Jesus can You show me just how
[Chorus]
Em              G        D
Far the east is from the west

               Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been

     C
Come rising up in me again

       Em                 G      D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

                Am                                    C
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west

                 D
From one scarred hand to the other
[Bridge]
G                         D/F#
  I know You've washed me white

                      Em
Turn my darkness into light

                     C/E
I need Your peace to get me through

   C                   G
To get me through this night

                       Bm
I can't live by what I feel

                             Em
But by the truth Your word reveals

                          C
And I'm not holding on to You

                         Em    D
But You're holding on to me

                     Em    D
You're holding on to me
[Chorus] (watch out, chords are different!)
                         G                        D/F#
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west

        Em
I don't have to see the man I've been

     C/E          C
Come rising up in me again

       G                         D/F#
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)

         Am                                    C
You know just how far the east is from the west

                                Em
From one scarred hand to the other
[Ending]
(Em)       D                        Em              D
(Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)

                             Em
From one scarred hand to the other

                    D                        Em              C
(You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
