I
ALL YOUR LIFE YOU'VE LIVED A SINNER
THE RIGHT WAY YOU'VE NEVER TROD.
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
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.
CHORUS
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AYAY.
ON DOWN THE DARK RIVER I'M SORRY TO SAY.
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AYAY.
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG TO LET JESUS HEAR YOU PRAY.
II
YOU WON'T GIVE UP YOUR EARTHLY TREASURE
TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND.
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU CAN HEAR JESUS CALLING
BUT YOU WON'T ACCEPT HIS HAND.
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY.
III
WHEN YOU COME TO CROSS THE RIVER
JESUS DON'T GIVE THE COMMAND
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
AND THE DAWN'S ROLLING RIVER
TAKES YOU TO THE SINKING SAND
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
YOU'RE DRIFTING AWAY
