There's an appointed time For everything And a time for every purpose Under heaven There's a time to be born And time to die There's a time to plant And for uprooting There's a time to kill And a time to heal There's a time to tear down And a time to build There's a time to weep And a time to laugh There's a time to mourn And a time to dance There's a time to throw stones And a time to regather There's a time to embrace And for distances There's a time to seek And a time to lose A time to keep And to cast away There's a time to rend And a time to sow There's a time to speak And for silences There's a time to love And a time to hate There's a time to war And a time for peace There's an appointed time For everything And a time for every purpose Under heaven
