How we claim to know the prophecies and signs That reveal Earth's final days are here Yet we live our lives as if we have time To pursue vain and selfish cares But those revelations we refuse to heed Caring more for treasures of this world So we'll lose our souls for pleasure and gold Knowing not what life is worth Many are the paths and very wide the way Where destruction is man's destiny While the way of life is narrow and hard Yet leads on to eternity Peace, love, joy, and safety, blessings on the way, Says the sentiment that marks this age Yet the truth of life, its bloodshed and strife Speak of a different stage Open up your eyes and take a look around For it really is not hard to see That the problems facing all humankind Can't be solved by humanity Many say that they possess the healing way That shall cure the ills which plague this Earth Yet their hearts despise the one way of life That God sets forth in his word There are those who wait for others to confirm That which scripture plainly states shall be They have placed their faith in men who debate Whether the Word of God is real.

Rain down your grace oh Lord, Blessed Savior, Rain down your grace oh Lord, Heavenly Father, Rain down your grace oh Lord, My Redeemer, Rain down your grace oh Lord, Holy Spirit If you love me rain down your grace If you love me rain down your grace If you love me rain down your grace If you love me rain down your grace Rain down your grace Oh Lord Blessed Savior Rain down your grace Oh Lord Holy Spirit Yes.

about

AZANYAH's follow-up release to their classic maiden effort, The One LP (Path of Light Records, 1987). The Final Hour ventures into the realm of extended length compositions, exploring more fully the opportunity for spiritually creative expression in the improvisational tradition, with all the energy and urgency that the title implies.
