[Verse 1]
Another Sunday morning, same old you
Hoping that the preacher's
Preaching's almost through
Not sure you need to hear this
Seems like you've heard it all before
A hundred times or more

[Verse 2]
All this information second hand
Is there something more you don't understand?
It's a way of life you're missing
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

[Verse 3]
It's all in your mind, the world will say
But this is something
That they can't explain away
Not just some fancy talking
Or just some emotion that you feel, no, no
It's a life of first hand walking
Finding out His promises are real
