| Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 |
|
| |
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
I am reminded of this passage today. I once knew a song based on this, and as I remember it I hear the melody float through my head... How confound that even when I resisting you so strongly growing up that you were there all along. Through music. That song and this verse. Making your self known in little ways and waiting until I was ready to turn to you. And even now, as I have come to accept you... I still find my self struggling. There is so much I don't understand. So much I can't grasp.
There is a time for everything. That is what has brought me to you this afternoon. This verse. *sigh* and now I have run out of words. |

Mike beat me to it! Took the words right out of my mouth.....lol ....This is one of my favorite books of the Bible too....
To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
[Chorus]
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
[Chorus]
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
[Chorus]
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
[Chorus]
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to saw
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late |

| That is a good song. However I was thinking of a choral rendition of this.... But the song you all suggested is also great *listening to it now* |
