Disciple's song "Rich Man" is a raw confession of repeated sin and the overwhelming grace of God. The narrator admits to turning away from God, yet marvels that God remains present and keeps rescuing him. The central image is that if every sin were a dollar, he'd be wealthy, but instead God's mercy makes him rich in a different way. The song emphasizes God's relentless love and forgiveness, lifting the sinner out of the water each time he drifts away. It's a powerful reminder of redemption and the unearned favor that defines the Christian faith.

Oh God, I've done it again
You stare me in the eyes
And I look away
You come around my house
And I'm not home
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
Why are You still here
when I told You to leave?
Why do the oceans
Never get past my knees?
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You
You made me a rich man
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You
You made me a rich man
