Time

My heart has known the winters And my feet have known the snow But mine eyes have seen the glory Of a seed begin to grow There is a time to uproot, darling But most days just hold on tight For there's a time for darkness, honey But dawn will always beat the night Sometimes death will come calling When you've been good and warned And other times its cold hands will cradle Dreams yet to be born There is a time to dance on sorrow And a time to kiss her cheek There is a time to mourn in silence But justice aches to hear you speak And I don't know the end, or tomorrow's story But I have found the one who gives me rest And I will make my bed in His promises For He holds true when nothing's left When nothing's left There is a time when laughter will echo Through your halls of peace But war is known to change your locks And carry off the family keys There is a time for healing and pain A time for drought and a time for rain There is a time for everything Until we crown the risen King Until we crown the risen King And I don't know the end, or tomorrow's story But I have found the one who gives me rest And I will make my bed in His promises For He holds true when nothing's left So crown Him in your mourning And crown Him in your laughter And crown Him when it all turns dark Crown Him when you bury And crown Him when you marry And crown Him when your faith finds a spark Crown Him for He's faithful And crown Him for He's worthy And crown Him for He is good Crown Him for His promises Cut through the blindness Of children that have barely understood The beauty that has come And the beauty yet to come And the beauty that is yours and that is mine And that death produces life And that we are made alive By the King who paints beauty with time By the King who paints beauty with time By the King who paints beauty with time And I don't know the end, or tomorrow's story But I have found the one who gives me rest And I will make my bed in His promises For He holds true when nothing's left
