Lyrics
Everything has its time
Ecclesiates 3:1-8
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven...
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven
A time to be born, and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven
A time to kill, and a time to heal
A time to break down, and a time to build
A time to weep, a time to laugh
A time to mourn, and a time to dance
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven
A time to throw away stones, a time to gather stones together
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing
A time to seek, a time to lose
A time to throw away, and a time to keep
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven
A time to tear and a time to sew
A time to keep silent a time to speak
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for war and a time for peace
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven...
For everything there is a season
And a time for every matter under heaven
