A poem by Merlene Howard "There's A Time"

[Merlene Howard]

THERE’S A TIME

To everything there is a time
Everything has a season
A time for every purpose under Heaven
God’s time has a reason

A time to be born, and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to sigh
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to breakdown and a time to build
A time to weep and a time to fuss
A time to mourn when you’ve had enough
A time to embrace and a time to dance
A time to be loved by our fellow man
A time to keep and a time to throw away
A time for war then a peaceful day
God has made everything beautiful in His time
So man can enjoy, His will be thine
Whatever God does it is forever
Nothing can change that, no not ever
God shall judge the righteous as well as the wicked
There’s no time for both, so you must pick it

(Ecclesiastes 3)
