Just how far
The east is from the west?
From You leaving me this way
The east is from the west
I yearn for peace and rest
Jesus, can You show me just how far
Just how far
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
From one scarred hand to the other
I'm just one mistake away
I don't want to end up
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel
The east is from the west
I know You've washed me white
And it echoes in my mind
Turned my darkness into light
'Cause You know just how far
From one scarred hand to the other
Jesus, can You show me just how far
Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
The east is from the west
Rising up in me again
Just how far
I don't have to see the man I've been
You know just how far
As though I've never sinned
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
But You're holding onto me, You're holding onto me
'Cause You know just how far
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
I start the day, the war begins
I'm just one mistake away
I know You've cast my sin as far as
Jesus, You know just how far
You know just how far
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
The chains of yesterday surround me
Endless reminding of my sin
Come rising up in me again
But today I feel like
The east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
The east is from the west
And I stand before You now
From You leaving me this way
The east is from the west
And time and time again
Today I feel like
The east is from the west?
Where You found me
And I'm not holding onto You
Come rising up in me again
From one scarred hand to the other
I need Your peace to get me through
Keeps me awake tonight
About the truth Your word reveals
The east is from the west
