A Time

In the same way that our song, The Kingdom Is Yours, massaged out the ideas in the Beatitudes, so this song explores the well known passage in Ecclesiastes 3.

VERSE 1
There’s a time for everything under the sun
From the start of life until life is done
A time for distance, a time for here
A time for joy and a time for tears

VERSE 2
There’s a time for rest and a time for work
A time to listen, a time to learn
A time to fail and a time to try
A time to seek and a time to find

CHORUS
Oh, God is here with you
Oh, and we’re in it too
Oh, when your season comes
Oh, you are not alone

VERSE 3
There’s a time for winter, a time for spring
A time for silence, a time to sing
There’s a time for healing, a time for pain
A time for justice and time for grace

VERSE 4
There’s a time to be still and a time to play
A time for steady, a time for change
A time for losing, a time to win
A time for getting back up again

VERSE 5
There’s a time for everything under the sun
And a place of rest when your time is done
A time for reverence, a time for awe
A time to know and be known by God
A time to know and be known by God
