There's a time for laughing...
by Stephen Newell
Chorus:
There’s a time for weeping, time for laughing
Time to mourn and a time to dance
There’s a time for planting and uprooting
Time to pray and a time to throw sin away
​
1. Your love O lord, surrounds us now from heaven
In faithfulness from Jesus, God’s own Son.
His righteousness is like the mighty mountains
His justice deeper than the sea
Chorus:
​
2. Your love O lord, surrounds us now from heaven
In faithfulness from Jesus, God’s own Son.
He can touch you with his gentle feather
He has healing in his wings
​
Chorus
Then Chorus with alternative harmony:
Every day
Every day is a day to spend with you
Every day
Every day is a day to spend with you
​
All together:
To spend with you.

About the Hymn
This was a hymn which I wrote many years ago. I was helped originally by a friend Tim Rylands, a musical genius.
​
It is an upbeat song, but with the depth of the passage from Ecclesiastes chapter three.
​
A passage very much worth singing about.
