[Intro]



[Verse 1]
            
Out on the per

      
ilous deep
            
Where dangers 

         
silently creep
             
And storms so 

          
violently swee

p
            
You’re driftin

             
g too far from

     
 the shore


[Chorus]
             
Drifting too f

            
ar from the sh

ore
             
Drifting too f

            
ar from the sh

ore
             
Come to Jesus 

              
today, let him

 
 show you the 

way
            
Drifting too f

[Verse 2]
            
Today the temp

          
est rolls high
            
And clouds ove

            
rshadow the sk

y
             
Sure death is 

         
hovering nigh
            
Drifting too f

            
ar from the sh

ore


[Chorus]
             
Drifting too f

            
ar from the sh

Drifting too f

            
ar from the sh

Come to Jesus 

              
today, let him

 
 show you the

Drifting too f
