a time to forgive prelude

a time to forgive  prelude  by ric gustafson


Ecclesiastes 3: 2-8


A time to give birth and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to tear down and a time to build up
A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing
A time to search and a time to give up as lost
A time to keep and a time to throw away
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together
A time to be silent and a time to speak
A time to love and a time to hate
A time for war and a time for peace


A time to forgive
