Version 1
East To West
By Mark Hall of Casting Crowns
From the album
The Altar and The Door
Capo 2
[Intro]
Em G D
Em G D
[Verse 1]
C/E D/F# Em
Here I am, Lord and I'm drowning
G C/E
In Your sea of forgetfulness
D/F# Em
The chains of yesterday surround me
G C/E
I yearn for peace and rest
D Em
I don't want to end up where You found me
G/B C D/F# C
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
[Verse 2]
C/E D/F# Em
I know You've cast my sin as far as
G C/E
As the east is from the west
D/F# Em
And I stand before You now as
G C/E
As though I've never sinned
D Em G/B
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
C D/F#
From You leaving me this way
C
Jesus can You show me just how
[Chorus]
Em G D
Far the east is from the west
Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
C
Rising up in me again
Em G D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
Am G/B C
You know just how far the east is from the west
(D) on chorus repeat
From one scarred hand to the other
[Instrumental]
Em D Em D
[Verse 3]
C/E D/F# Em
I start the day, the war begins
G C/E
Endless reminding of my sin
D/F# Em
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out
G C/E
By the storm I'm in
D Em G/B
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
C D/F#
From You leaving me this way
C
Jesus can You show me just how
[Chorus]
Em G D
Far the east is from the west
Am
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
C
Rising up in me again
Em G D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
Am G/B C
You know just how far the east is from the west
(D) on chorus repeat
From one scarred hand to the other
[Bridge]
G D/F#
I know You've washed me white
Em
Turn my darkness into light
G/C
I need Your peace to get me through
C G
To get me through this night
Bm
I can't live by what I feel
Em
About the truth Your work reveals
C
And I'm not holding on to You
Em D
But You're holding on to me
Em D
You're holding on to me
[Chorus] (watch out, chords are different!)
G D/F#
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
Em
I don't have to see the man I've been
G/C C
Come rising up in me again
G D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
Am G/B C
You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
[Ending]
Em D Em D
(Just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
Em
From one scarred hand to the other
D Em C
(You know just how far, the east is from the west, just how far)
From one scarred hand to the other
An awesome song from a great band. I'll be honest and admit that
I'm really uncertain about the G/C chord in both places.
I'm open to suggestions. You're welcome to email me at
God bless ya!
