I yearn for peace and rest
Songwriters: Mark Hall, Bernie Herms
From You leaving me this way
But You're holding onto me, You're holding onto me
I know You've washed me white
Endless reminding of my sin
Turned my darkness into light
The east is from the west?
Jesus, can You show me just how far
In Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
The east is from the west
You know just how far
To get me through this night
As though I've never sinned
The east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I don't want to end up
From one scarred hand to the other
'Cause You know just how far
The east is from the west
Jesus, can You show me just how far
The east is from the west
The east is from the west
The east is from the west
Keeps me awake tonight
The east is from the west?
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
From one scarred hand to the other
Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
And I stand before You now
I don't have to see the man I've been
I start the day, the war begins
'Cause You know just how far
I'm just one mistake away
Just how far
Publishers: BANAHAMA TUNES, CLUB ZOO MUSIC, MY REFUGE MUSIC, SWECS MUSIC, WORD MUSIC, LLC
And it echoes in my mind
Just how far
Just how far
I'm just one mistake away
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
And I'm not holding onto You
I can't live by what I feel
From one scarred hand to the other
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
But today I feel like
Come rising up in me again
I know You've cast my sin as far as
From one scarred hand to the other
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
You know just how far
I need Your peace to get me through
The east is from the west
About the truth Your word reveals
From You leaving me this way
Jesus, You know just how far
Today I feel like
And time and time again
Where You found me
Come rising up in me again

Great song indeed. He died once, for all. Man it's easy to feel like we aren't forgiven. This song does a great job reminding us that we are indeed free from our sins, that we are dead to Sin and alive in Christ. Stirs my emotions and gives me hope and joy at the same time.
