All your life you've lived a sinner the bright way you've never trod   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, you're drifting away   On down the dark river I'm sorry to say   You're drifting away, you're drifting away   Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray      You won't give up your earthly treasures to enter the promised land   You're drifting away, you're drifting away   You can hear Jesus callin' but you won't accept his hand   You're drifting away, you're drifting away      You're drifting away, you're drifting away   On down the dark river I'm sorry to say   You're drifting away, you're drifting away   Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray      When you come to cross the river Jesus won't give the command   You're drifting away, you're drifting away   And that dark rollin' river takes you to the sinkin' sand   You're drifting away, you're drifting away      You're drifting away, you're drifting away   On down the dark river I'm sorry to say   You're drifting away, you're drifting away   Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray
