10826. Drifting Away From The Savior

1 Drifting away from the Savior,
Casting reproach on the Lord;
Drifting away from His temple,
Heeding no longer His word.

Refrain:
Drifting away, drifting away,
Drifting away from the Savior,
Drifting, still drifting away.

2 Drifting away from the Savior,
Slighting and grieving His love;
Drifting away from the mansions,
He is preparing above. [Refrain]

3 Drifting away from the Savor,
He who has showed you the way;
Drifting away from His teaching,
Farther and farther each day. [Refrain]

4 Drifting away from the Savior,
Still He is mindful of thee.
Come unto Him and believing,
Paroned thro’ grace thou shalt be. [Refrain]
