Wisdom of the King
By Matthew Kalliman
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; 11:9-10; 12:13-14
Hear the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
In His purpose and design
God gives man a lot of time
Time for all he wants to do
Time for good, and evil too
Hear the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
Time to be born, time to die
Time to laugh and time to cry
Time to heal and time to kill
Time to break and time to build
Time to dance and time to weep
Time to give and time to keep
Time to lose and time to gain
To embrace and to refrain
Time for silence, time for speech
Time for war and time for peace
Hear the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
The conclusion he did draw
Was, "fear God and keep His law"
For into judgment God will bring
Every purpose, every thing
So, remember right from wrong
As your lifetime goes along
There is time for everything
So heed the wisdom of the king
So heed the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
In His purpose and design
God gives man a lot of time
Time for all he wants to do
Time for good, and evil too
Hear the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
Time to be born, time to die
Time to laugh and time to cry
Time to heal and time to kill
Time to break and time to build
Time to dance and time to weep
Time to give and time to keep
Time to lose and time to gain
To embrace and to refrain
Time for silence, time for speech
Time for war and time for peace
Hear the wisdom of the king
There is time for everything
The conclusion he did draw
Was, "fear God and keep His law"
For into judgment God will bring
Every purpose, every thing
So, remember right from wrong
As your lifetime goes along
There is time for everything
So heed the wisdom of the king
So heed the wisdom of the king
