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 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 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
C/E
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
C/E C
Come rising up in me again
G D
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
Am 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

Dude. awesome job. this is excellent.
btw, in the bridge it's:
But by the truth your work reveals
where you have:
About the truth Your work reveals
but anyone could mix that up.
Keep up the good work!

christianvision Im guessing you probably figured it out but in case others have the same question: any / chord means the first note is the main chord and the note after the / is the lowest base note played. So in C/E you play a normal C just make sure you play it from the bottom E string up. In the case of C/B you just don't play the bottom E string so that the lowest note that is played is the B. Hope this helps. Or you can just google it for a chord chart most / chords come up.
