East To West: Casting Crowns

Intro: F#m  A+9  E  E (x2)

Verse 1:
D/F#    E/G#          F#m 
Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning  
           A+9           D/F#`  
In Your sea of forgetfulness
                 E/G#               F#m
The chains of yesterday surround me
  A+9                 D/F#                    
I yearn for peace and rest
                   E/G#                   F#m                          
I don't want to end up where You found me
          E           D/F#      E            D/F#                              
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight


Verse 2:
D/F#           E/G#          F#m
I know You've cast my sin as far as
          A+9             D/F#
As the east is from the west
        E                    F#m
And I stand before You now as
     A+9              D
As though I've never sinned
              E                F#m           C#m
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
             D              E     
From You leaving me this way
D
Jesus can You show me just how


Chorus:
F#m             A+9      E
Far the east is from the west
                     Bm
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
D/F#      E
Rising up in me again
         F#m                  A+9   E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
               Bm                       A+9     D
You know just how far the east is from the west
                      (E) 
From one scarred hand to the other


Instrumental:
F#m      E       F#m       A+9   E


Verse 3:
D/F#        E/G#            F#m
I start the day, the war begins
              A+9         D/F#
Endless reminding of my sin
               E                F#m
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out
A+9                D/F#
By the storm I'm in
           E                  F#m          C#m
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
               D/F#             E
From You leaving me this way
D/F#
Jesus can You show me just how


Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
A+9                           C#m
I know You've washed me white
                             F#m
Turn my darkness into light
                              D
I need Your peace to get me through
     D                          A+9
To get me through this night
                             C#m
I can't live by what I feel
                                  F#m
About the truth Your work reveals
                                        
                              D   
And I'm not holding on to You
                              F#m   C#m
But You're holding on to me
                          F#m   E
You're holding on to me


Chorus (watch out, chords are different!)
                                A                            E
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
          F#m
I don't have to see the man I've been
         D/F#         
Come rising up in me again
         A                                              E
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
               F#m                   A+9          D/F#
You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other

(Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
                                 F#m
From one scarred hand to the other
