Christian Poetry - Time Will Tell

Time Will Tell

There is a time for everything

A sacred season for all;

A time, in which, we each are born,

A moment when we fall.

A time to plant some new ideas,

A harvest to gather all,

But a time to kill and let blood spill,

Is that our human call?

There is a time for tearing down

The walls our hate has grown,

To turn our tears away from fears

And learn to laugh, not mourn.

A time to dance this sweet embrace,

This gift of life we’ve known;

To seek the higher way of love

And never be alone.

Is there still time to show remorse

And own the pain we’ve caused;

To let our spirits speak to us,

And change the path we’ve trod?

Is there still time to learn of love

And make all war outlawed?

Is there the will, within us still,

To share the peace of God?
