Mud Puddle
Disciple's 'Mud Puddle' is a raw, emotionally charged song about enduring mistreatment and choosing forgiveness. The lyrics express the pain of being hurt by someone close, yet resolve to respond with grace, referencing biblical teachings on turning the other cheek and repaying evil with good. The song captures the struggle between anger and the call to forgive, ultimately choosing to release bitterness and extend mercy, even when it feels like being left crying in a mud puddle.
I know your heart and you mean well
Sometimes you don't care how I feel
All the stories I can tell how you make me feel like I'm in hell
I know if I could I'd really love to let it go [Ephesians 4:26-27]
I know that I should turn my cheek for another blow [Matthew 5:39]
I should do good when you do me bad [Matthew 5:44]
All the forgiveness that my Saviour had [Luke 23:34]
I feel like dying when you curse me up one end
And down another [James 3:8-10]
I get disgusted when the way you kill me seems so subtle
You left me crying in a mud puddle
I see the anger in your eyes
My every action you despise
Just to win the argument you hit me square below my belt
I will repay evil with good [Matthew 5:44]
I will release my bitterness [Hebrews 12:14-15]
I give you my forgiveness [Matthew 6:14]
I hope you liked my flowers [Romans 12:20]
