Drifting Too Far From the Shore
by Charles Moody 
sung by Emmylou Harris



 
C
Out on the perilous sea
      G7                 C
Where danger so silently creeps
                 C7     F
And storms so violently sweep 
       C            G7           C
You're drifting too far from the shore
 
F                                C
You're drifting too far from the shore
       G7                        C
You're drifting too far from the shore
                    C7      F
Come to Jesus today let Him show you the way
       C            G7           C
You're drifting too far from the shore

 
Today the tempest rolls high
        G7                    C
And the clouds overshadow the sky
             C7       F
For death is hovering nigh
           C            G7           C
And you're drifting too far from the shore
 
repeat 2 
 
 
Why meet a terrible fate
     G7                  C
When mercy so abundantly waits
                 C7       F
Turn back before it's too late
       C            G7           C
You're drifting too far from the shore
