Can You Stay?
O can’t you see the darkness
Of sin’s oppressive night
That shrouds the world around us
And blinds them to the light?
O can’t you hear the groaning
Beneath the load of guilt
Escaping from the nations
Where strongholds have been built?
O can’t you feel the anguish
And terror of the grave
Without the hope of knowing
The One whose death can save?
There is no Christian witness,
No church they can attend,
No one to love and tell them
That Jesus is a Friend.
O can you bear to leave them
Without the gospel light
When you have met the Savior
And heaven is your right?
O Lord, Your Name is worthy,
But millions haven’t heard –
Send us to tell of Jesus
And of His holy Word.
