The man in the story has been in bad places before. He is close to becoming what he used to be and one last ditch effort before that happens he wants to be reminded what Jesus went through for us, and for our sins..."'cause You know just how far the east is from the west from one scarred hand to the other" the "how far" is symbolic to the pain that only Jesus knows himself he went through. This is a beautiful song and this is what it means to me :)
