A Time For Everything

For everything, there is a season A time for everything under heaven Nothing happens randomly or by chance God has determined each step in a dance The events of life unfold rapidly Against the backdrop of eternity There is more beyond life under the sun This race of life should not be blindly run God has allotted time in His wisdom Seasons have been set; nothing is random Amidst the chaos, He is in control He knows all things; He's sealed them in His scroll When difficult situations are tense When painful circumstances make no sense When we're let down by life under the sun Look to the Cross and follow Christ, the Son Through Christ, God has made all things beautiful Because of Christ, this life is meaningful He's redeemed us from vain futility From sin and death, He has set us free Though life's poetry does not perfectly rhyme God makes all things beautiful in His time When life's ugly trials and problems arise Help us, Lord, to see beauty through Your eyes
