Like everyone else I tried to fly through my life Using only my feelings and instincts By trial and error from the day I was born I'd always heard that was the way it was done So, I took the throttle and I made my own course I headed out somewhere that way But I hit some heavy weather and crashed and burned Now listen to the lesson that I had to learn If you're not living by the Word of God You're flying by the seat of your pants If you're not living in Jesus I wouldn't give you a snowball's chance Your automatic pilot isn't doing too well There's been a major malfunction and you're headed for hell If you're not living by the Word of God you're flying by the seat of your pants Now life may bring me some spins and some dives And zero visibility too But by His direction and by His word I know I can make it through With his Spirit as co-pilot here inside Using His flight manual for my guide I'll make a three point landing on the other side And brother He'll do the same for you But if you're not living by the Word of God You're flying by the seat of your pants If you're not living in Jesus I wouldn't give you a snowball's chance Your automatic pilot isn't doing too well There's been a major malfunction and you're headed for hell You'd better stop flyin' by the seat of your pants and start livin' by the Word of God Start livin' by the Word, livin' by the Word, livin' by the Word of God
