just one of those days

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 sins 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 because 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. 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...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...from one scarred hand to the other.
