East to West – Casting Crowns		(Standard Chords)		Song # _________

Intro:  F#m  A  E  (x2)						(F3 – Dot 1.0)

Verse 1:
D/F#       E/G                F#m
   Here I am, Lord and I’m drowning
         A                  D/F#
In Your sea of forgetfulness
               E/G#          F#m
The chains of yesterday surround me
   A                     D/F#
I yearn for peace and rest
                 E                F#m
I don’t want to end up where You found me
         A/C#         D         E/G#       D/F#  D2
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight

Verse 2:
D/F#               E/G#           F#m
   I know You’ve cast my sin as far as
        A                D/F#
As the east is from the west
        E/G#            F#m
And I stand before You now as
     A                     D/F#
As though I’ve never sinned
              E                F#m          C#m7
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
          D              E/G#          
From You leaving me this way
D    
Jesus can You show me just how

|Chorus:
| F#m               A       E

|       D           E
| Come rising up in me again
|         F#m               A       E
| In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
|           Bm                      A/C#       D

Verse 3:
D/F#            E/G#            F#m
   I start the day, the war begins
            A           D/F#
Endless reminding of my sin
          E/G#             F#m
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out
A                D/F#
By the storm I’m in
          E                F#m          C#m7
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
           D             E/G#          
From You leaving me this way
D    
Jesus can You show me just how

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
A                        E/G#
I know You’ve washed me white
                       F#m
Turn my darkness into light
                      D
I need Your peace to get me through
   D/A                   A
To get me through this night
                        C#m7
I can’t live by what I feel
                             F#m
About the truth Your work reveals
                           D
And I’m not holding on to You
                         F#m   E
But You’re holding on to me
                     F#m  E
You’re holding on to me
