Don’t waste the time I’ve given you today 
The minutes fly by on a path one-way 
Never to be captured and used again 
Their presence only noted by thoughts or a pen 

Time is the gift that all men alike share 
Tomorrow is not guaranteed so you must beware 
You will give account of how it was used 
At My throne you’ll be rewarded or accused 

I’ve made everything beautiful in its time 
Like a poem, decorated with fancy rhyme 
There is a rhythm to all that I do 
It follows My heartbeat I’ve placed inside you

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 – “There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.”

Ecclesiastes 3:11 – “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Proverbs 12:28 – “In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-17
