Who Can Abide Lyrics

Michael Card Who Can Abide

Who Can Abide?

A mighty storm is rising
A darkness in the land
But surely this must be a light
To those who understand
That all the prisoners of this Hope
Are about to be set free
As in one lightning moment
A familiar face at last they see

Who can abide the day of His Coming?
Who can withstand the final Call?
If you do not stand by faith
You will not stand at all
You will not stand at all

The Valley of Decision
Begins to overflow
With some confused, bewildered
And some who seem to know
That this sad separation
Was their choice so they can tell
He simply speaks the sentence
That they have passed upon themselves

Surely this must be our God
Behold the One we trusted in
He has come at last to save us
He has forgotten all our sin
