Drifting Too Far from the Shore
Out on the perilous deep
Where dangers silently creep
And storms so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore
Chorus
Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too far from the shore
Come to Jesus today, Let Him show you the way...
You're drifting too far from the shore
Today the tempest rolls high
And clouds o'er shadow the sky
Sure death is hovering nigh
You're drifting too far from the shore
Why meet a terrible fate
Mercies abundantly wait
Turn back before it's too late
You're drifting too far from the shore
