Lyrics Throw out the Life Line - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Throw out the life line with hand quick and strong
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today
And out with the life boat! away, then away!
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is drifting away
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is sinking today
Soon will the season of rescue be o′er
Soon will they drift to eternity's shore
Haste, then, my brother, no time for delay
But throw out the life line and save them today
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is drifting away
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is sinking today
