"There is an appointed time for everything, and time for every affair under the heavens... God has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into men's hearts." (Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 11)

There comes a time when you're lost and alone,
and you can't seem to find your way back home.
When you've been hurt, you get caught in your pain,
thinking that nothing can make you whole again.

REFRAIN 1
 
But there's a time for healing and a time for mending.
There's a time for loving and a time for giving.
There's a time for hope and a time for grace,
A time for everything to find its place.
There comes a time when you go astray,
Heaven sends somebody to show you the way.
When things go wrong, and you can't make a stand,
a friend comes along to lend you a hand.

REFRAIN 2
There's a time for healing and a time for mending.
There's a time for loving and a time for giving.
There's a time for hope and a time for grace,
A time for everything to find its place.
There comes a time when you need to reach out,
to show those who fear life what it's all about.
When you give joy, it's spread all around,
teaching the lost ones that they're finally found.
(REFRAIN 2)

There's a time for faith
There's a time for love
There's a time to give thanks
to the Lord above.
There's time for hope
There's a time for grace
There's a time for everything
to find its place.
