Lyrics East and West - Cageless Birds, Jonathan David Helser

East and West

East went lookin' for west
And never found him
Guilt went lookin' for my past
But only found love
I heard about a sea where
Sin sinks like stones
There’s no floor
There’s just mercy down below
You can run for all your days
But you’ll never run away
There’s no mistake I can make
That could ever make you change
Your love
I heard about a man with holes in his hands
He can hide mountains of sin in them
His smile destroys my religion
His love shakes down my prison
You can run for all your days
But you’ll never run away
There’s no mistake I can make
That could ever make you change
Your love
Oh, oh
East went lookin' for west and never found him
As far as the east is from the west
So far has he removed our transgressions from us
Psalm 103:12
