There’s a time -Always the time

THERE’S A TIME TO LAUGH, AND A TIME TO CRY
There’s a time to mourn,
And a time to shout for joy.
There’s a time to gather in,
And a time to give away;
For a season we may sow in tears,
Longing for the harvest day.

But it’s always the time to worship You,
And it’s always the time
To give our thanks to You.
We will praise Your name,
Jesus, faithful and true.
‘Cause it’s always the time to worship You.

There’s a time for peace, and a time for war,
There’s a time to rend,
And a time to mend what’s torn.
There’s a time to fight for good,
And a time for love’s embrace:
For a season we may sacrifice,
For the sake of brighter days.

There are many things in these troubled times
That can fill us with distress,
But when our eyes are on You, Jesus,
Then our hearts remain at rest.
