Times and Seasons

Nothing happens by chance
We thrive in God’s appointed 
Times and seasons 
All we are and do
Fit perfectly into 
His divine calendar

There is time to be born
And time to die
Time for planting 
And time for harvesting 
 
Time for killing 
And time for healing
Time for tearing down
And time for building 
Time for sorrow 
And time for joy
Time for mourning 
And time for dancing 

Time for making love
And time for not making love
Time for kissing 
And time for not kissing 

 Time for finding
 And the time for losing
 Time for saving
 And time for throwing away

  Time for tearing 
  And time for mending
  Time for silence
  And time for talk

There is time for love
And time for hate
Time for war
And time for peace

Wait therefore for His time
For you cannot hurry the sunshine 
At God’s time everything is beautiful 
God’s time is the best
