Theme: Mercy

Mercy is the attribute of God that holds back the judgment we deserve and extends the kindness we need. Mercy-themed worship songs create a spirit of humility and gratitude in the congregation — the recognition that we stand before a holy God not on our own merit but on his compassion alone. These songs are often marked by a tenderness and vulnerability, acknowledging need while resting in the confidence of God's character. They draw from the deep wells of Lamentations, the Psalms, and the New Testament proclamations of grace. Singing about mercy together reminds the church that the same compassion God has shown each individual member has been shown to all.
