From East to West Songtext
von 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


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 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
