Who Can Abide Lyrics lyrics

Who Can Abide by Michael Card

A mighty storm is rising (Jeremiah 25:32)

A darkness in the land (Joel 2:2, Amos 5:18)

But surely this must be a light

To those who understand

That all the prisoners of this Hope (Zechariah 9:12)

Are about to be set free

As in one lightning moment

A familiar face at last they see

CHORUS

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 (Isaiah 7:9)

You will not stand at all

The Valley of Decision

Begins to overflow (Joel 3:14)

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

(Chorus)

Surely this must be our God

Behold the One we trusted in (Isaiah 25:9)

He has come at last to save us

He has forgotten all our sin (Isaiah 43:25)

(Chorus)
