The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music


Drifting Too Far from the Shore [core]

Out on the 5 perilous 1 deep
Where 5 dangers silently 1 creep
And storms so violently 4 sweep
You're 1 drifting too 5 far from the 1 shore

Chorus
4 Drifting too far from the 1 shore
You're 5 drifting too far from the 1 shore
Come to Jesus today, Let Him show you the 4 way...
You're 1 drifting too 5 far from the 1 shore

Today the tempest rolls high
And clouds o'er shadow the sky
Sure death is hovering nigh
You're drifting too far from the shore

Why meet a terrible fate
Mercies abundantly wait
Turn back before it's too late
You're drifting too far from the shore
