Divisions of time
Stretched through your life
Growing and maturing
So that the prime of your life
Can be revealed on this earth
Nothing last forever
Time protects you from that
For everything there is a season and
The reason for this is that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
It’s not what you are that holds you back
It’s what you think you are not
Put yourself on the spot and remind yourself that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
Things change so rearrange your mind so that
You can still be strong during a tough chapter of your life
Don’t be too rough with yourself because in reality
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
Nothing last forever
Time protects you from that
For everything there is a season and
The reason for this is that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state

Gentle words from a tongue have a honeyed flavor
Utterances... "from the mouth of the wise bring favor
But the lips of the stupid one will be his ruin."*
Even if he foolishly doesn't know what he's doin.'
To my ears, a soft voice is as pleasant as trilling birds.
Wrapping around my senses in the manner a belt girds.
It offers me peace and calm, a life of tranquility
filled with happiness and balanced with harmony.
For everything there is a season~ a time to tear down
a time to build up others, so no one wears a frown.
a time to be quiet, a time to speak, and a time for peace
Putting an end to life's struggles brings sweet release.
* Ecclesiastes 10:12 ** parts of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
do not let lost love provoke the heart
nothing aims to stay the same
for everything there is a season
do not let lost love choke the heart
like the weeds that squeeze the rose
love is a startled bird that quickly flies away.
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
Be not afraid
We have been
With you since
Time began
There is much
Suffering and troublesome
With your world
But be not afraid
It is remarkable
That so many
Have joined us
On this holy night of Light
The Return of Sun light
We give you a word from Ecclesiastes Three
“For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven”
We will shine our Light
Worship him
The Son of the Light
We will never forsake you
We have a gift waiting for you
In the center
Be not afraid
You will arrive
In the center in time
Be not afraid
You will know it
When you see it
Jesus Christ
Son of man
Always remembers us
Jesus Christ
Son of man
For everything there is a season
I will do it in due time
Love
Lord
There is a time for each season…
To everything made…
There is a divine reason.
A time for purpose under
the heavens above…
A time for meaning from a God of love.
A time to be born. A time to die…
A time to farm the ground
under the beautiful sky.
A time to kill. A time to heal...
A time to tear down and
to build up with a passion and zeal
A time for weeping. A time for laughing…
A time to mourn. A time for dancing.
A time to keep...
A time to throw away.
A time to tear. A time to make amends today.
A time to get. A time for losing…
A time to keep. And to give
away at our choosing.
A time for silence. A time to speak…
A time for each hour
and day of the week.
A time for love. A time for hate…
A time for war. A time for peace at your gate.
How will you spend the time
God has given to you?
What is your choice? What will you do???
May this be a time living in
God’s purpose and design.
He created you and made
everything beautiful in his time!

Read Eccl. 3:1-11
For everything there is a season,
For all the questionable things, there are millions of reasons.
Set your standards high & your goals will be higher.
