Who Can Abide

Michael Card

B F#/B A/B E/B B F#/A# A E

[ ........... ][ ........... ][ ........... ][ ........... ]

Bm Em/B Bm D/A A

A mighty storm is rising, a darkness in the land

Bm Em/B Bm G2 A

But surely this must be a light to those who understand

Em Bm D A

That all the prisoners of this Hope are about to be set free

Em Bm G /E /G A

As in one lightning moment a familiar face at last they see

Chorus:

Bm F#/B D/A E

Who can abide the Day of His Coming?

G A Bm A

Who can withstand the final Call?

Bm F#/B D/A E G A D E

If you do not stand by faith, you will not stand at all

G A B (F#/B D/A E G A Bm)

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

CHORUS

G/B A/B Bm D E

Surely this must be our God, behold the One we trusted in

Em/G A F#sus

He has come at last to save us, He has forgotten all our sin

repeat CHORUS and fade
