🎵 When I Drift Away | A Christian Song Inspired by the Apostle Peter
A story of falling, grace, and the Savior who never stops reaching for us.

"When I Drift Away" is a heartfelt Christian song that captures the emotional journey of the Apostle Peter after the resurrection of Jesus. This original music video explores the inner struggle Peter might have faced—feeling distant, ashamed, and unsure where he stood with the Savior he once denied. But just like in Scripture, the story doesn’t end with failure—it ends with restoration.

This is a powerful, visual reminder of the grace of Jesus, who doesn’t just call us once—He keeps calling us back, even when we’ve drifted away.

🌊 The Heart Behind the Song
After the resurrection, Peter returned to fishing—perhaps unsure of his place in the story of Jesus, haunted by his denial. "When I Drift Away" imagines Peter’s thoughts and emotions in that space between shame and healing. It reflects the very human tendency to wander, to carry guilt, and to feel like we've messed up beyond redemption.

But the message is clear: Jesus still meets us on the shore.

This music video walks through that journey—from distance and doubt to the moment when Jesus restores Peter with love and purpose. The melody is tender, the lyrics are raw, and the message is full of hope.

🎶 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I thought you were a Savior
To conquer all of Rome.
I left my nets behind,
But now I’ve gone back home.
I left you late that night
And said I never knew you.
When you died upon the cross,
I thought you failed me too.

[Chorus]
When I drift away,
Your love will stay the same.
When I drift away,
There’s love instead of shame.
Each time I go astray,
You wait for me to pray,
When I drift away

[Verse 2]
I picked up fishing nets,
And turned to what I knew.
My boat is empty still.
My heart is empty, too.
I see him calling me,
My Lord upon the shore.
Again, I leave my nets,
And turn to him once more.

[Verse 3]
Instead of scolding me,
He gave a warming smile.
The fish I tried to find,
He had it all the while.
My Lord, I make mistakes.
Your love I’ll never earn.
He said to me, "I ask one thing.
Just love me in return."

[Bridge]
I’ll love you now with all my heart,
Though I am prone to grow apart.
If I make mistakes, your grace will stay,
Every time I drift away.

[Chorus]
When I drift away
Your love will stay the same
When I drift away
There’s love instead of shame
Each time I go astray
You wait for me to pray
When I drift away
