Disciple's song "Mercy" is a heartfelt plea for God's forgiveness and cleansing. The lyrics echo the psalmist's cry for mercy based on God's steadfast love, asking to be washed from sin and restored to wholeness. The bridge acknowledges that sin is ultimately against God, while the chorus celebrates how God's love brings new life, increases faith, and sets the believer free. The song expresses a deep desire to see more of Jesus and less of self, highlighting the need for grace and mercy. It is a worshipful confession and a declaration of dependence on God's redemptive love.

Have mercy on me Oh God according to Your love
Cleanse me from my iniquity wash me from my sin
[Bridge]
Against You only have I done this sin and worked this evil in Your sight
Take me back where I can be whole again
'cause all I want Oh Lord is to be in Your light
[Chorus]
Because Your love, it gives new life to me
The more I have of You, the more that I can believe that Your love,
it can set me free
Oh Lord I know I need Your grace and mercy
Have mercy on me
Oh God according to Your love
Help me to see more of You
Oh Jesus so I can see less of me
