I have mentioned that whenever we sing "Caught in the mercy fallout" from "The Praise Goes Out To You", I'm not really sure what that means. Well, here's a great definition from Keith and Karen Jasmine:
Mercy fallout? Hmmm…
Mercy is a distinctive Bible word characterizing God as revealed to men. Mercy is (a) an essential quality of God (Ex 34:6,7; Dt 4:31; Ps 62:12, etc.); it is His delight (Mic 7:18,20; Ps 52:8); He is "the Father of mercies" (2 Cor 1:3), "rich in mercy" (Eph 2:4), "full of pity, and merciful" (Jas 5:11); (b) it is associated with forgiveness (Ex 34:7; Nu 14:18; 1 Tim 1:13,16); (c) with His forbearance (Ps 145:8. From all the foregoing it will be seen that mercy in God is not merely His pardon of offenders, but His attitude to man, and to the world generally, from which His pardoning mercy proceeds.
