Casting Crowns – East To West (Ukulele)

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

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

Em                  G           D
Far the east is from the west

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

C
Rising up in me again

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

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

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

G                                     D/F#
I know You've washed me white

                                   Em
Turn my darkness into light

                                G/C
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
About the truth Your work 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

                                        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

         G/C                    C
Come rising up in me again

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

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

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)
