How Far

14 oct 2012 11:00 AM How far has the east gone from the west How deep is the sea of forgetfulness How is it that the past never escapes me Why is it that I swim the the sea though its waves terrify me How foul the vomit of mistakes How foul that like a dog I return to it How stinging is the whip of regrets How much more stinging that it is I who punishes me with it The east is on the right and the west is on the left of a cross whos arms will never touch The sea is as deep as the pool of blood that came from a man who gave every drop as redemption for us all The foul stench of mistakes and the sting of regret are cleansed and healed by the stripes and sacrifice of a Christ a Savior who made Himself a sacrifice for all people for all time written by Bobb Marly
