Out on the perilous deep,
3 5 5 -4 5 -5 5
Where danger silently creeps,
3 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 4
And storm's so violently sweeping,
-4 -5 -5 4 -4 4 -5 5
You're drifting too far from shore
5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 4
Drifting too far from the shore,
-5 -5 -5 4 -4 4 5
You're drifting too far from the shore,
5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 4
Come to Jesus today,
4 -4 5 5 -4 4
Let Him show you the way
5 5 6 -6 6 -5
You're drifting too far from the shore,
-5 5 5 5 -5 -4 -4 4
Today, the Tempest rose high,
And clouds o'er shadow the sky
Sure death is hovering nigh,
You're drifting too far from shore
(chorus)
Why meet a terrible fate?
Mercies abundantly wait
Turn back before it's too late
You're drifting too far from shore
(chorus)
