I tried to be all you hoped for I gave my life, I gave my soul This old heart is full of good intentions But sometimes it makes the wrong decision I have been all you've died for I've prayed for my way only to miss the goal Even though I've walked in the wrong direction You were there forgiving me As far as the East is from the West You've taken my sins and laid them to rest As far as the East is from the West I will never know them again I stand here with one conclusion You're grace has replace all that I deserve As a child can know his father's compassion Here I am reaching for you As far as the East is from the West You've taken my sins and laid them to rest As far as the East is from the West I will never know them again As far as the East is from the West As far as the East is from the West As far as the East is from the West You've taken my sins and laid them to rest As far as the East is from the West I will never know them again
