Purpose In Time

There is a time; there is a season-
To every purpose and for every work:
             A time to be born;
              A time to die.
              A time to weep.
              A time to cry.
               A time to tear down;
                A time to kill
                A time to fix up
                A time to rebuild.
                 A time to take a chance
                    A time to dance;
                   A time to embrace-
                  A time to make haste.
                     A time to get;
                      A time to lose.
                  A time to accept;
                   A time to refuse.
                A time to speak and lift up the voice;
                 A time for nothing more than to rejoice.
                    A time for love;
                     A time for hate.
                        A time for war;
                         A time for peace.
                       A time to stay;
                        A time to depart.
But all time is given to serve God and each other-
With true expressions of Love from the depth of the heart.
