Refrain:

To ev'rything, there is a season;

A time to be born and a time to die.


and a time for harvest;

A time to meet 

and a time to part.

A sower went out 

to sow the seed; 

some of it fell upon the path,

Some fell on shallow, rocky soil, 

and some among choking thorns.


Refrain:

To ev'rything, there is a season;

A time to be born and a time to die.


and a time for silence;

A time to wound 

and a time to heal.

Nothing can grow in barren soil; 

briars and ravens take their toll,

Still there is grain a hundred-fold, 

from seed that took root 

and grew.


Refrain:

To ev'rything, there is a season;

A time to be born and a time to die.


and a time for grieving;

A time to seek 

and a time to lose.

God's word is 

like the farmer's seed; 

rooted in joyful, 

loving hearts,

Growing like grain 

in fertile ground, 

a harvest that overflows.


Refrain:

To ev'rything, there is a season;

A time to be born and a time to die.


and a time for harvest;

A time to meet 

and a time to part.
