First Hand

Another Sunday mornin', same old you
Hoping that the preacher's preachin's almost through
Not sure you need to hear this
Seems like you've heard this all before
A hundred times or more!

All this information second hand
Is there something more that you don't understand?
It's a way of life you're missin'
Where the Word becomes a part of you!
Walking everyday with Jesus, finding out His promises are true!!

Chorus:
Living life first hand:
Learning the truth straight from the Father
Living life first hand:
There's no middle man, when you walk with the Lord first hand!

"It's all in your mind," the world will say
But this is something that they can't explain away
Not just some fancy talkin', or just some emotion that you feel
It's a life of first-hand-walking, finding out His promises are real!!
