"How Firm A Foundation" piano duet performed by Mrs.Irma Greever and Ms Sadie Huff.............. Introduction, In my judgment there are few words that carry as much breadth and depth of meaning as the word “mercy.” For mercy to be mercy there is implied the free and sovereign bestowal of goodness, unconditioned and unforced. At the same time mercy requires that the recipient of mercy be deemed unworthy, undeserving, and unable to rectify their condition. But because mercy is merciful as the extension of the goodness of God pouring out abundant mercies on unworthy sinners, this is a cause of praise and gratitude unto God by saved sinners who received God�"s mercy. “So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.” Romans 9:16 NASB
