Slip Sliding Away

What a beautiful day it was, with the waves crashing on the beach The sunshine creating quite a buzz as for the next wave I now reach Riding it right up to the shore, but not quite to where I was before For I had drifted a little bit more the ocean temptress being my lure So as I swam back out I had to turn to see how much I had drifted For in my mind I had doubt just as if my confidence had been sifted But there each time I turned were those flag to the left and the right Stay in the middle I had learned so lifeguards can keep you in sight And I needed to continually check, for you can drift so quick and fast For if I just said who gives a heck, well out there I just would not last That's what the Lord pointed out to me that no one is turning around That many are adrift out at sea, many of whom may never be found Turn around and look for Jesus' Face in Him you will never drift away Our Salvation just one act of His Grace, but a million more each day So just turn around and take a look at where you have now landed All the devil stole being a crook, but the Lord, He won't leave you stranded
