1)  

C            G7              C  
A time to be born, a time to die,  
          G7               C  
A time to plant, a time to reap,  
          G7              C  
A time to kill, a time to heal,  
          F        G7      C  
A time to laugh, a time to weep.  
  
Chorus 
  
2)  
A time to build 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.  
  
Chorus 
  
3)  
A time to love, a time to hate,  
A time of war, a time of peace,  
A time you may embrace,  
A time to refrain from embracing. 
  
Chorus  
  
4)  
A time to gain, a time to lose,  
A time to rend, a time to sew,  
A time for love, a time for hate,  
A time for peace—I swear it's not too late  
  
Chorus
