To Everything There is a Season

Note: The following excerpts are taken from “Blessings From Above” - A Salesian Inspirational Booklet, edited by Jennifer Grimaldi.

To everything on earth there is a season,
A tome for every purpose under the sun.
From the beginning of life’s journey to the finish,
We run the race until our days are done.
There is a time for weeping and for laughter, A time for mourning and a time
to dance.
Every favor, every blessing we’re receiving
Is a gift of God; it happens not by chance.
For our God, in never failing mercy, Watches over us from day to dawning day.
In His hands He holds life’s changing seasons
As time continues on without delay.
