There's a time to live
And a time to die
There's a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There's a time for war
And a time for peace
There's a hand to hold
In the worst of these
In the worst of these
He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can't even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn't kiss you any more
He is with you when your baby's gone
And your house is still, and your heart's a stone
Crying, God, what'd You do that for
He is with you
There's a time for yes
And a time for no
There's a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There is a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you (there is love)
Through all of this
Through all of this
He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don't know you any more
And He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don't know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you
We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light
He is with you when your kids are grown
When there's too much space and you feel alone
And you're worried if you got it right or wrong
Yes, He is with you when you've given up
On ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you
When nothing else is left
And you take your final breath
He is with you
He is with you
