Emmylou Harris - Drifting Too Far from The Shore lyrics

rate me

(traditional)

Out on the perilous deep

Where danger silently creeps

And storm's so violently sweeping

You're drifting too far from shore.

Chorus: drifting too far from shore

You're drifting too far from shore

Come to jesus today

Let him show you the way.

You're drifting too far from shore

Todaythe tempest rose high

And clouds o'ershadow the sky.

Sure death is hovering nigh

You're drifting too far from shore.

Drifting too far from shore

You're drifting too far from shore

Come to jesus today

Let him show you the way.

You're drifting too far from shore

Why meet a terrible fate?

Mercies abundantly wait.

Turn back before it's too late

You're drifting too far from shore.

Drifting too far from shore

You're drifting too far from shore (peaceful shore)

Come to jesus today. let him show you the way

You're drifting too far from shore.
