Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
This is the hour, the time has come
His Spirit calls, He calls us on
To make this land, holy for the Lord
This is the time to seize the day
We rise in faith, the promise comes
To make this land, holy to the Lord
These are the days of the latter rain
Days of power, days of grace
This is the time the fire will fall
To make this land holy
To make this land holy to the Lord
This is the time, our finest hour
Of battles fought and victories won
To make this land holy to the Lord
And from this time our future calls
The promise sure, the rain will fall
We see this land holy to the Lord
