My new favorite song

We've been keeping the radio on at night while the baby sleeps because it helps him get to sleep faster so we've been keeping it on 89.7 KSGN since the music tends to be a little softer. And of course I am up in the middle of the night with the baby and the song "East from the West" by Casting Crowns comes on and I was really impressed by the song and lyrics. Song was written based on Psalms 103:12 " As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us." The song talks about forgiveness, and how we as sinners feel like we are one-step away from God walking away from us, so in the song he asks the question How far is the East from the West? Where does God's forgiveness end? It never ends, because He is a merciful God. Awesome song, listen to it when you get the chance.
Here is a video I found on youtube of a live performance of the song, but the studio recorded song is better than this:



Casting Crowns "East from the West

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 cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before you now as,
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


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 form the West
From one scarred hand to the other.


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
Can’t live by what I feel
But by the Truth your work 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 form the West,
From one scarred hand to the other.
