Charles E. Moody composed Drifting Too Far from the Shore in 1923 while directing music at a Methodist church in Tunnel Hill, Georgia. Along with Kneel at the Cross, it is one of Moody’s best known gospel songs.
This recording comes from my first CD, Going Over Home, and features Rick Paller on guitar. DisciplesNet Church created the video and used the song in their worship service for September 20, 2013.
