Who Can Abide? (Card) - Michael Card

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

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

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

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

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

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
