Drifted Away

I started writing this on the 22/11/25. I was listening to a song my daughter's created, and she had the phrase, "drift away". In an hour, in the back seat of my wife's car, while travelling to Bairnsdale in Victoria,I had this sad song written, and I love the way the hymn amazing grace is incorporated into it.

It is a sad song, and it took a week to get the right tune. To finish it off I modified the last verse to make it positive.

I have family that have known Jesus and turned away and are possibly sitting on the fence. I pray for them every day, and pray that Jesus will help them find their way home.

I hope this song inspires you to keep praying.

LYRICS - DRIFTED AWAY - MICHAEL KUNZ

I fell asleep and drifted away

I still believed

But Life was good, so I didn't pray

Like I should

My dusty Bible sat on the shelf

I became consumed with myself.

I went to church once a week

And what was worse

I drifted to the back seat

Which shifted

To taking all the weekends off

I once was found and now I'm lost

How did I drift away?

When did I make the choice?

To turn from Jesus, I can't believe it

I sold His love for worthless toys

I once was saved, I lost my way,

I'm now a wretch, I'm on the edge

I ask you'll pray, every day

Maybe I'll find a way

back home.

He's still waiting with open arms

I'm craving

I want to come, but I just can't start

It'll break my heart

To leave my kingdom behind

I once did see, but now I'm blind

How did I drift away?

When did I make the choice?

To turn from Jesus, I can't believe it

I sold His love for worthless toys

I once was saved, I lost my way,

I'm now a wretch, I'm on the edge

I ask you'll pray, every day

Maybe I'll find a way

back home.

I think I hear Him whispering

I don't know what to say

Have I drifted way to far

From his amazing grace?

How did I drift away?

When did I make the choice?

To turn from Jesus

I can't believe it

I sold His love for worthless toys

I once was saved, I lost my way,

I'm now a wretch, I'm on the edge

I ask you'll pray, every day

Maybe I'll find a way

back home.

To turn to Jesus

help me believe it

I want His love more than my toys

I once was saved, I lost my way,

I'm now a wretch, I'm on the edge

I ask you'll pray, every day

Maybe I'll find a way

back home.
