Flying (By the Seat of Your Pants) [Song]

from the 1984 album Holiness by Don Francisco

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
