I always wondered who wrote that song. I used to hear it sang in church as a solo.
Someone once said it was written to the music of "o Danny Boy" is that true?

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: What season are you in?
The most obvious are the season of our births and deaths, all else which occurs to and around us fall somewhere in between. As we live out our lives we go from one season to another and at times they overlap.
Recently I have been living out a time to be silent and a time to speak. It has taken me many years of trial and error to become successful at this and not allow my baser instincts to rage out of control. Knowing that you are right about some situation or circumstance does not make you right if you present yourself in an offensive manner.
There are times when you must be silent and because of the silence you may weep and mourn, relationships may even be torn apart. One might even grow distant and experience waves of hatred for others and there is often great upheaval in our lives. Although some aspects of our lives are beyond our control, how we handle ourselves is what matters most.
For in the midst of turmoil we can embrace, love, laugh and dance. How can a broken heart or spirit be mended and healed if one is not willing to throw away or give up the hurtful things? Plant seeds of peace, learn to be silent, especially when your emotions are raging, because there is not one Word that is spoken that can be taken back! And when you must speak, Speak the truth in love.

Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
