One amazing song by Casting Crowns and it describes my life perfectly.

hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:
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 sins 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
Come 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 scar[r]ed hand to the other

I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your [T]ruth 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

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 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 scar[r]ed 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 holding on to you
But your holding on to me
Your holding 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 rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
(The arms of your mercy I find rest)
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other(x2)

(Just how far, the East is from the West)

From one scarred hand to the other

  • this song describes how I feel about my personal battle with sin and I know the consequences of how it feels to give into the tempations of this world, and I pray now that this song always touches the hearts of those that are torn apart by guilt of past wrong doing and that they know that there is hope "If we confess our sins, he is just and faithful to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" I John 1:9

  • I am 13 and I was saved about a month ago because my mom forced me into church, after she found out I was cutting my wrists and battleing sever depression. After spending time in church, I`ve gotten as far away from the devil and as close to God as possible. Jesus and God saved me and this song is a beautiful representation of that.

  • Wait a minute it should be all like no dislike hello people think!!!God Bless

  • @lilRedDarkness i know how you feel man same xD im 13 to and i got savedabout 2 months ago

  • This is a manifestation of God's Love to his people. Many times he saved my life, eventhough i was a sinner. He showed me that he is a forgiving father no matter how wicked you are as long as you confess your sins and be born again.....

    Thank you Almighty God, our Sovereign Lord for your unfailing love.

  • This is a great song i love it

  • How lucky we are!!! We have this hope and when we think we are just one step away from God leaving us this way He reminds us of His love for us and how it will never fail. However, the world does not have this strength that comes from the peace we have...pray for these people, that God will teach you to love them just as He loves you. But I'm asking you to pray for me...pray for us...that we can be conduits of His love and that we will impact just one person, just one...

  • Beautful song.

  • @lilRedDarkness :) im 13 too

  • im so thankful Christ can bear all our emotions when we cant.

  • I can't sing this song without crying.

    Thank you God for saving me! <3
