DRIFTING TOO FAR FROM THE SHORE
Traditional
Out on the perilous deep
Where dangers silently creep
And storms so violently sweep
You're drifting to far from the shore
Drifting too far from the shore (from the shore)
Drifting too far from the shore (peaceful shore)
Come to Jesus today, let him show you the way
You're drifting to far from the shore
Today the tempest rolls high
And clouds overshadow the sky
Sure death is hovering nigh
You're drifting to far from the shore
Why meet a terrible fate
Mercy abundantly waits
Turn back before its to late
You're drifting to far from the shore
