Track 2 — Bones & Gut (MercyM‑style personal testimony) Verse 1 Nanna held my hand when I was only four years old, Took me to that picture show where the star‑wings rolled; Said “Don’t trust only what your eyes can plainly see — Feel it deep within your bones, let your gut speak free.” That night the galaxy broke open in my mind, I saw how small I was, how vast the grand design. She said the world’s got layers underneath the skin, Things that only those who listen can begin to win. Verse 2 Years have turned, I’ve wandered through the southern hills and plains, Tasmanian valleys, Maryborough’s river lanes; Some folks walk right past it, never pause to feel the shift, Never sense the quiet breath where the old memories lift. I’ve stood in twilight where the Wharf‑Street shadows lean, Felt a presence moving where the unseen is seen. Pre‑Chorus 1 It’s not the five senses telling all the story, It’s the deep‑down fire that guides the way to glory; What you know down deep when the noise begins to fade — That’s the truth that never will decay. Chorus It’s not the five senses telling all the story, It’s the deep‑down fire that guides the way to glory; Bones and gut, heart and faith, seeing what’s unseen — That’s the way my spirit’s always been. Through the dark, through the storm, through the doubt and through the test, That deep‑down knowing keeps me walking toward the rest. Pre‑Chorus 2 She was only with me for a little while of time, But she left that wisdom rooted deep inside my mind; Now I walk the lanes at night where the shadows lean, Feeling things most folks have never felt or seen. Bridge I still hear her whisper when the evening winds blow soft, “Keep your heart wide‑open, don’t let fear turn you off; There’s more above, below, and all around your way — Keep your spirit watching through the night and through the day.” Though her days were short, her lesson still remains, Burning deep within my bones, running through my veins. Outro Bones and gut… heart and faith… Seeing what’s unseen…
