East To West
By Mark Hall of Casting Crowns
From the album
The Altar and The Door

Capo 2


Intro:
(Em        G  D) x2


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


Repeat Chorus


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
