Representative Text

1 Drifting away from Christ and the right, Drifting away from mercy and light; Sinner, you're drifting into the night, Drifting away from God. Chorus: Drifting, drifting, Drifting, drifting, Under the chast'ning rod; Drifting, drifting, Drifting, drifting, Drifting away from God. 2 Drifting away from dear mother's care, Drifting away from home and from pray'r; Drifting where hope will end in despair, Drifting away from God. [Chorus] 3 Why longer drift? there's nothing to gain, Think of the end, the sorrow and pain; Why do you choose in sin to remain, Drifting away from God. [Chorus]
