DESCRIPTION:

What began as a prayer quickly took shape into “Have Mercy,” catching Nik Ryan at the end of his rope. Exhausted from running in circles and keeping himself guarded like a “man of stone,” Ryan drops the pressure of figuring life out alone. Leaning on the promise that others can help finish what he started, the track turns a desperate cry for grace into a hopeful surrender—proving that letting down your guard is the first step.

Nik Ryan is a Christian alternative/pop artist from Richmond, Virginia, writing songs for the people who know what it’s like to be broken and what it means to be found. Inspired by personal trials, family, and a faith that refused to let go, his music is honest and hopeful. Inspired by a Nashville songwriting retreat in 2025, Nik began bringing his music to life through professional recording sessions with producer Coby James who helped bring his songs to life.
