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

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

Far the east is from the west

'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

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

I can't live by what I feel 
                                            Em 
About the truth Your work reveals
