Spring Cleaning

Our porch floor was in desperate need of cleaning after a winter of sand and salt. While I scrubbed I listened to a song by the music group Casting Crowns.

~East to West~

Here I am Lord I and I'm drowning in a sea of forgetfulness

Chains yesterday surround me I long for peace and rest

Don't want to end up where You found me and it echoes in my mind

Keeps me awake tonight

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 sin

But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away for You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how far the East is from the West

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

You know just how far the East is from the West

One scarred hand to the other

I start the day the war begins

And less 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

Jesus can You show me just how far the East is from the West

I can't stand to see the man I've been rising up in me again

In the arms if Your mercy I find rest

You know just how far the East is from the West

One scared hand to the other

Know You've washed me white

Turned my darkness into light

I need Your peace to get me though this night

Can't live by what I feel

But by the truth your word reveals

I'm not holding on to You

But Your holding on to me

Jesus You know just how far the East is from the West

I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

You know just how far the East is from the West

One scarred hand to the other
