    The Altar and the Door
    By Casting Crowns
    East to West

    How is it that the Lord always knows what song I need to hear exactly when I need it?  In a lot of ways, I think that's one of the ways He speaks to me, especially when it's so hard to hear Him with all of the noise... I know it's so cliche, but love the words to this song, and they remind me that though others may not forgive or forget the stupid things I do daily, He does.  How reassuring!! 



    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
    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
    And 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 life
    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
