The song is titled East To West, by Casting Crowns from their latest album, The Altar And The Door

Verse 1
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 wanna end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight

Pre-Chorus
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand here 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

Chorus
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 to 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

Verse 2
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

Bridge
I know You've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through
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

Chorus 2
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 to 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

Tag
(You know just how far
The east is from the west)
From one scarred hand to the other



This song really speaks to me... the parts are bold-ed...

Happy listening =D
