Текст песни East To West - Casting Crowns , Ben Fuller

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
As though I've never sinned
But today, I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From You leavin' 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
Come risin' 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 leavin' 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
Come risin' 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
One scarred hand to the other

I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your Word reveals
I'm not holdin' on to You, but You're holdin' on to me
But You're holdin' on to me

Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been
Come risin' 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

One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
