PRAYER FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

God of Mercy and Compassion, of Peace and Reconciliation, pour your Power on all Your children in the Middle East: Jews, Muslims and Christians, Palestinians and Israelis.   Let hatred be turned into Love, fear to trust, despair to Hope, oppression to freedom that violent encounters may be replaced by loving embraces and that Justice may be experienced by all.  AMEN

Lord have mercy.

This is the most prophetic rock song ever written. It was written over 2,000 years ago .

The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Version (1611) of the Bible, (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the song.

 

 

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to buid up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rain, a time of sow
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
