Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dive's song Mercy begins with an invocation to God - the Holy and Strong, the Holy and Immortal, asking for mercy on "us". This "us" could refer to all humanity since sin is something that everyone is capable of committing. The song goes on to suggest a way out of the guilt and shame caused by sin - through repentance represented by the cleansing power of rain and water. The imagery of rain washing away tears and water freeing souls from sin is a powerful metaphor for the renewal of the human spirit.


The line "Don't let evil come into our heart, it will make his home there" further reinforces the idea that sin is something that can infect us from within, and it is up to us to guard our hearts against the allure of evil. This could be seen as a call to action, a plea for each individual to actively resist temptation and stay on the path of righteousness. The repetition of "have mercy on us" throughout the song emphasizes the petitioner's humility and acknowledges that mercy is not something we can earn, but something we can only hope for and be grateful to receive.

Thank you for praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. May I kindly say that The Hail Mary goes as β€œHail Mary……blessed is the fruit” and not fruits, as Mother Mary had one and only one child Jesus Christ and not more. Thank you.
