Casting Crowns - East To West - (Live)

CASTING CROWNS - EAST TO WEST (LIVE) from there live 2007 released album, The Altar and the Door ---

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 sin 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 scarred hand to the other.

I start the day, the war begins,
Endless reminding of my sin
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 leaving me this way.

Jesus, can You show me just how
Far the east is from the west
Because I can't bare 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
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 holding on to You,
But You're holding on to me
You're 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
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
One scarred hand to the other
(Just how far the east is from the west)
(Just how far)

One scarred hand to the other
(Just how far the east is from the west)
(Just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other.

I'm not holding on to you but you're holding on to me ... This is my only hope

[05bryster]

I'm only 14 years old and they have inspired so much, along with my pastor and church family I'm going to to see them tomorrow and I can't wait to go and worship God for hours on my Friday night!!

[cardan041]

Great song of Praise. Thank you, Lord Jesus for your unconditional Love!!!

[JasperCountyNative]

I needed to hear that this morning! 

[forthebestinlife74]

beautiful lyrics, beautifully sung...good instrumentation - just the kind of what is required of that song...but a little more of lead guitar piece could have been done for that song...anyway, great piece of musical work! keep singing for Jesus Christ for He alone is God....Angels in heaven also must have sung that same song at some point in time in heaven, any time before this song was produced here on earth.... glorifying God!!!
