30. Drifting Away from Jesus

1 Drifting away from Jesus the Lord,
Drifting away from love for His Word;
Drifting away from tho’t and from care,
Drifting away from song and from prayer.

Refrain:
Drifting away, drifting away,
Drifting away from Jesus,
Drifting, drifting, drifting away,
Drifting away from Jesus.

2 Drifting away from paths thou hast trod,
Drifting away from people of God;
Drifting away from fellowship sweet,
Drifting away from the mercy-seat. [Refrain]

3 Drifting away from there where He died,
Drifting away from wounds in His side;
Drifting away from seats on His throne,
Drifting away to darkness unknown. [Refrain]

4 Wilt thou not turn gainst the downward tide?
Wilt thou not own this Jesus denied?
Then, with thy face aglow with the day,
Wilt thou not cease from thy drifting away? [Refrain]
