With gentle repetition and poetic cadence, the text emphasizes the sanctity of each moment, inviting the soul to recognize God's hand in all stages of life.

Text:
There is a time for all things on earth:
Time to be born, each one a precious birth.
Time for to live, to laugh and learn and grow.
Time to appreciate the beauty you know.
Time to appreciate the beauty you know.

Time for to grieve in sorrow or pain.
Time to believe that you'll find joy again.
Time to ask God to free your soul from sin.
Time to rejoice that Jesus Christ is your friend.
Time to rejoice that Jesus Christ is your friend.

Time to reach out in service and love.
Time to reflect the countenance above.
Time to hold fast unto the iron rod.
Time for to feast upon the Word of Our God.
Time for to feast upon the Word of Our God.

Time to grow old and look back on life.
Time to find wisdom from your toil and strife.
Time for your covenants to bring you peace.
Time to rejoice in God's eternal increase.
Time to rejoice in God's eternal increase.
