Re: Ecclesiastes & The Byrds

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is an appointed time for everything.
And there is a time for every
event under heaven:


A time to give birth, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.


A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.


A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace,
and a time to shun embracing.


A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.

A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak.


A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time for war, and a time for peace.


To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

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

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 for every purpose under heaven

A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!
