i’ll be honest, although i love good worship, i am not that big on contemporary Christian. but there are times when a song will come across the radio (if i ever happen to be listening to the radio) that gets me. it grabs me where i’m at. purely because of the lyrics. i am all about God’s mercy because unfortunately i suck at mercy myself. and this one pretty much nails it.<\/p>\n
casting crowns Here I am, Lord, and I’m drowning in your sea of forgetfulness Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin I know You’ve washed me white, turned my darkness into light i’ll be honest, although i love good worship, i am not that big on contemporary Christian. but there are times when a song will come across the radio (if i ever happen to be listening to the radio) that gets me. it grabs me where i’m at. purely because of the lyrics. i am all… Continue reading lyrics that are gettin’ me<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-box-of-chocolates","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\neast to west<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe chains of yesterday surround me
\nI yearn for peace and rest
\nI don’t want to end up where You found me
\nAnd it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
\nI know You’ve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
\nAnd I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned
\nBut today I feel like I’m just one mistake away from You leaving me this way<\/p>\n
\n’cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
\nIn the arms of Your mercy I find rest
\n’cause You know just how far the east is from the west
\nFrom one scarred hand to the other<\/p>\n
\nTime and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I’m in
\nToday I feel like I’m just one mistake away from You leaving me this way<\/p>\n
\nI need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
\nI can’t live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
\nI’m not holding on to You, but You’re holding on to me
\nYou’re holding on to me
\n<\/strong>
\nJesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
\nI don’t have to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
\nIn the arms of Your mercy I find rest
\n’cause You know just how far the east is from the west
\nFrom one scarred hand to the other
\n(Just how far the east is from the west, just how far)
\nOne scarred hand to the other
\n(Lord, Just how far the east is from the west, just how far)
\nFrom one scarred hand to the other<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
