East is to the West

By Samhoku

(another Song-Fic I dont own anything)

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning,
in Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me,

Edmund was sweating as he prayed to Aslan...wishing he could take everything back

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

Edmund couldn't sleep and he knew why.

I know you've cast my sin 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

Edmund knew he was forgiven. But it was still hard to sleep

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

Edmund was thinking about how he had sinned when he was 10. He was such a foolish boys.

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

Edmund sighed and closed his eyes slowly. He needed to rest in Aslan.

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

Edmund passed Lucy without a second glace. He was absent minded.

I know You've washed me white
Turn my darkness into life
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this night

Edmund wept by the alter and ground his teeth. He heard a soft purr. It was comforting.

I can't live by what I feel
About 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

"My child. You are Forgiven because I was forsaken."

Edmund smiled and went to bed. He apologized to his sister. He would be able to sleep well tonight.

Jesus You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been
rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
cause You know how far the east is from the west
from one scarred hand to the other
