To Everyone, turn, turn, turn
This is the season to turn, turn, turn
And the time to fulfil God’s purposes under Heaven
A time to be reborn before you die
to sow in righteousness and reap in peace
to die to sin and heal your soul,
to laugh for freedom and to weep for sin
To Everyone, turn, turn, turn
This is the season to turn, turn, turn
And the time to fulfil God’s purposes under Heaven
A time to build up faith and break down despair
To dance for joy when mourning has passed
A time to cast away the stones of hate,
And gather the temple of God’s ‘living stones’ together.
To Everyone, turn, turn, turn
This is the season to turn, turn, turn
And the time to fulfil God’s purposes under Heaven
A time to love the good and hate the bad
To war for right and gain true peace
A time to embrace the light,
but a time to refrain from embracing the darkness
To Everyone, turn, turn, turn
This is the season to turn, turn, turn
And the time to fulfil God’s purposes under Heaven
A time to gain a Friend and lose a Foe
To rend your heart and heal the rifts
A time for love and not for hate
A time to make peace with God; I swear it's not too late.
