Purpose In Time
There is a time; there is a season-
To every purpose and for every work:
A time to be born;
A time to die.
A time to weep.
A time to cry.
A time to tear down;
A time to kill
A time to fix up
A time to rebuild.
A time to take a chance
A time to dance;
A time to embrace-
A time to make haste.
A time to get;
A time to lose.
A time to accept;
A time to refuse.
A time to speak and lift up the voice;
A time for nothing more than to rejoice.
A time for love;
A time for hate.
A time for war;
A time for peace.
A time to stay;
A time to depart.
But all time is given to serve God and each other-
With true expressions of Love from the depth of the heart.
