1. Like a rudderless ship on a fathomless sea,
Someone is drifting, drifting
On the ocean of time and eternity:
Someone is drifting, are you?
Refrain:
Drifting away from the Savior,
Someone is drifting today,
Someone is drifting from Jesus,
Someone is drifting, are you, are you?
2. From the anchor of hope to the rock of despair,
Someone is drifting, drifting,
The doom of the sinner forever to share:
Someone is drifting, are you?
3. From the beacon of light where no storm can prevail,
Someone is drifting, drifting,
To sink in the deep, when the foe shall assail:
Someone is drifting, are you?
4. From the Pilot whose hand from destruction can guide,
Someone is drifting, drifting
In the surges of sin, and in folly and pride:
Someone is drifting, are you?
