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
