Drifting (Hewitt)

Drifting care­less­ly with the tide

Drifting ov­er the wa­ters wide

With no cap­tain your course to guide

Drifting ov­er life’s sea.

Drifting

drift­ing

no port in sight!

Drifting far from the Gos­pel light;

Lest you go down in the stor­my night;

Drifting ov­er life’s sea.

Drifting al­most up­on the bar

Losing sight of the bea­con star;

From the hav­en of joy afar

Drifting ov­er life’s sea.

Drifting on

with no shore in view

Think not skies will be al­ways blue;

Storm and ship­wreck will come to you

Drifting ov­er life’s sea.

Drift no long­er! let Je­sus save

Let Him guide you across the wave

Lest you sink in a sin­ner’s grave

Drifting ov­er life’s sea.
