Casting Crowns East to West Video and Lyrics

Ξ September 14th, 2008 | → | ∇ Christian, Current Obsession, Music |

Another one of the famous Casting Crowns’ hits captured my heart from the first time I have heard of it. This heart-warming song greatly reminds us that Jesus knows everything that we are going through and how heavy our burden is. This song also encourages us to continue our race in faith and to never give up even if the pressures of this world are catching up with us. Just as Jesus never fails us and even took our place up on that tree, we should never give Him less than all our life and praise.

Listen, be inspired and sing along with Casting Crowns as they perform their brilliant composition, the 2008 Dove Awards Song of the Year, EAST TO WEST, from the album “The Altar and The Door”.

Here I am, Lord, and I’m drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I 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 sinned
But 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
’cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
’cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day, the war begins, endless 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

I know You’ve washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can’t live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I’m not holding on to You, but You’re holding on to me
You’re 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
’cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
