praise!! our sins are separated from us as far as the East To West!!

started the day, diving into habitual sin yet again . . . like Paul I cry "O wretched man that I am! who will delver me from this body of death?"
Papa, in His typical gracious style drives me, in light of the lies of my sin to The Truth of His Word & The Truth of His Person :)
saw visible reminders of my mothers' love for me who might not know about my "secret sin" - then it was as if Papa gently spoke to me, "if your mother who mightn't know about your sin still loves you anyway, HOW MUCH MORE do i love you, my precious child, though i know your sin full well but gave my Only Beloved Son for you anyway?"
read Romans 6-8 to remind me of who i am - how easy it is to forget! >_<>Chorus: 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

v2. 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

Chorus: 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

bridge. 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

Chorus 2: 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

pray: we'd live as we TRULY ARE: under NO CONDEMNATION & NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to obey our sinful urgings but free to obey Him!
