Time Songtext

von John Lucas

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... 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... When nothing's left
