All your life you've lived a sinner
The bright way you've never trod
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross the river
And you haven't met 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
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let
Jesus hear you pray
You won't give up your earthly treasures
To enter the promised land
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You can hear Jesus calling and
You won't accept his hand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to the river Jesus
Don't give thee command
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
And the dark rolling river takes
You to the sinking sand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
