You're Drifting Away
All your life you've lived a sinner the right way you've never trod
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross the river and you haven't leaved with God
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
Drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray
There's a dark rollin' river takes you to the sinkin' sand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross that river Jesus knows you need his hand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
Drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross the river and you haven't leaved with God
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
Drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray
There's a dark rollin' river takes you to the sinkin' sand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross that river Jesus knows you need his hand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
Drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray
