We have read and we have heard
The truths revealed in God’s Own Word,
And from His Word this truth will ring,
“There is a time for everything.”
And though we’re ignorant of the reason,
Each thing occurs in its own season.
And though we seek to wield the rod,
Our times are subject unto God.
Our lives unfold within His plan.
He reigns sovereign over man.
He sets the day for each one’s birth
And guides our journey from this earth.
He has a time for us to cry,
a time to know or wonder why,
a time to strive and build and gain,
a time to leave or to remain.
There’s a time to endeavor, gaining ground,
and a time to lay our burdens down,
a time to struggle in the fight,
a time to travel to the The Light.
And now we see our prayer must be
to live each day expectantly,
accepting life without regret
within the times our God has set.
