There's a Time

There's an appointed time
For everything
And a time for every purpose
Under heaven
There's a time to be born
And time to die
There's a time to plant
And for uprooting

There's a time to kill
And a time to heal
There's a time to tear down
And a time to build
There's a time to weep
And a time to laugh
There's a time to mourn
And a time to dance

There's a time to throw stones
And a time to regather
There's a time to embrace
And for distances

There's a time to seek
And a time to lose
A time to keep
And to cast away
There's a time to rend
And a time to sow
There's a time to speak
And for silences

There's a time to love
And a time to hate
There's a time to war
And a time for peace

There's an appointed time
For everything
And a time for every purpose
Under heaven
