The Past Redemption Line

Author: Jesse Randall Baxter, Jr. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8469 First Line: You are drifting with the tide Refrain First Line: O the "Past Redemption Line" Lyrics: 1 You are drifting with the tide, Onward down the stream you glide, Drawing nearer to the danger sign; Sad will be your awful fate When you find, but then too late, You have reached the "Past Redemption Line." Refrain: O the "Past Redemption Line" Is near to some soul, Tell me, brother, is it yours or mine? Idle not your time away, Come to Jesus while you may, Ere you cross the "Past Redemption Line." 2 You are drifting from the shore, Faster now than e’er before, O you need the Savior’s love divine; As you reach the current swift, Faster still your boat will drift, Nearer to the "Past Redemption Line." [Refrain] 4 You are drifting farther on Where no day will ever dawn, And the light of hope will never shine; To the darkness of despair That awaits you over there, When you cross the "Past Redemption Line." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [You are drifting with the tide]
