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
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
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
And 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?
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
You know just how far the east is from the west
From 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
About the truth your word reveals
And I'm not holding onto you
But you're holding onto me
You're holding onto me

Jesus, you know just how far the east is from the west?
I don't have to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
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
From one scarred hand to the other
You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far
From one scarred hand to the other

Been struggling with porn sites gave it to God 2 days ago I decided I’m done. Unfortunately had a mini stumble and felt like God told me to listen to this song and I haven’t heard it in years. Thank you Jesus

Psalm 103:12 KJV
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

[joannedeborahchisholm]

The old man is dead! I am a new creation in Christ Jesus!!! No one can snatch me out of His Hand!!!

[sarahmathison]

Can y'all pray for my brother Matt. There is a battle for his soul and to break generational struggles. He's trying but needs prayer. Thanks fam.❤

[fakegucci]

God Bless everyone reading this and everyone you know.

[kikimcgee]

If you’re reading this, this is a sign. A sign that God loves you, no matter what your sins. You are so loved, and you can do this. Keep carrying on, because Jesus has your back ❤️

[GuardianXWolf]

This song hits so hard for me. I had a tear in my shoulder for almost 12 years. The pain was so bad that i started to self medicate on pain pills. Then my dad died, my dog died, and the woman i loved left and moved to be with another man all in less than 6 months. I started to get worse. Even going as far to taking 10 pills a day. I felt like i was always hopeless. Then i found my fiance and she brought me back to god. Im now rebatized and had surgery to fix my shoulder. This year will also be 2 years that ive been sober from pills! God truly is good

[trunksgainz]

I'm a sinner lord. Cleanse me forever with your blood Jesus

[theunkownslave]

I believe in Jesus Christ, and His death, burial and resurrection! Praise be to God for saving a wretched sinner like me!

[fakegucci]

Can y’all pray In Jesus Christ’s Mighty Name, for a girl named Jordyn that she gets over what she is going through and finds Jesus Christ, Thanks y’all, God Bless everyone reading this and everyone you know.

[masonodaniel]

WHY DOES THIS SONG MAKE ME CRY 😭 THANK YOU SO SO MUCH KING JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY FOR TAKING THE NAILS WE DESERVE FOR US ALL ON THAT OLE RUGGED CROSS!

[eliasramirez]

“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[Bignuke]

I don't know who might see this but I've lost everything and I'm hurting. I could use prayer.

[scottblankenship]

Today is the forth day of Holy Week. The day mankind betrayed our God. This is a good song of repentance. Lord forgive me for every time I myself have betrayed Him. It is not my brother, not my sister, but I that put Him in the cross. Glory be to God and His outstretched arms of forgiveness!

Forgive me a sinner.

[Shipnot_Nonindustries]

My dad would always play this song when we would go somewhere like the store. ever since Norfolk, we'd listen to it, it was his favorite casting crowns song and now that he passed, its been keeping me together. that man was such a great person and i thank god for giving me such a great father, even if i only got to spend 18 years almost to the day with him.

[alfredbalboa]

Could i get prayer for my sister shes struggling with drug addiction im barely recovering from fentanyl im so depressed could i get prayer also

[TivGirlsAreBeautiful]

In the arms of your mercy, I find rest🙏

Thank you Jesus

[nedvrlp]

I struggle with depression. Think about meeting Jesus in heaven everyday. I suffer from chronic conditions that have really affected the quality of my life. Life is really tough

[NextLevelTruth]

I need prayers, I’m almost over the hump of a 12+ year opioid addiction. I believe by Gods grace He will heal me in His timing. I feel the time is now.
I need to be free so I can help others, I’m done being hopeless and held down by this. ❤️
