From East To West - Enigma

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

'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

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

I know You’ve washed me white

Turn my darkness into life

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

I’m not holding on to You

But You’re holding on to me

You’re holding on to me
