From East to West

Enigma

Here I am Lord and I’m drowning, in Your sea of forgetfulness 
The chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest 
I don’t want to end up where You found me 
And it echoes in my mind 
Keeps me awake tonight 
I know you’ve cast my sin as far as the East is from the West 
And I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned 
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away 
From You leaving me this way 

Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west 
‘Cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been 
Rising up in me again 
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 
‘Cause You know just how far the east is from the west 
From one scarred hand to the other 

I start the day, the war begins 
Endless reminding of my sin 
And time and time again 
Your truth is drowned out by the storm I’m in 
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away 
from You leaving me this way 

I know You’ve washed me white 
Turn my darkness into life 
I need Your peace to get me through 
To get me through this night 
I can’t live by what I feel 
About the truth Your word reveals 
I’m not holding on to You 
But You’re holding on to me 
You’re holding on to me
