East to West – Casting Crowns		(Capo 2)			Song # _________

Intro:  Em  D  G  (x2)						(F3 – Dot 1.0)

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  C2
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           Bm7
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           D
| Come rising up in me again
|         Em                G/B      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           Bm7
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
                      C
I need Your peace to get me through
   C/G                   G
To get me through this night
                        Bm7
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
