Intro: 
(Em        G  D) x2 

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 

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 
                            (D) 
on Chorus repeat 
From one scarred hand to the other

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 


Repeat Chorus 


Bridge: 
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

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 

From one scarred hand to the other
