Turn, Turn, Turn (Pete Seeger cover) - sung by Jack Marti

Here's my favorite scripture song from the book of Ecclesiastes put to music by Pete Seeger.

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for 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)....

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

To everything (turn, turn, turn)....

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)....

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I pray its not too late

Just so you know, Pete Seeger wrote Turn Turn Turn

[guitmartiman]

Well, he certainly wrote the music, but he got the words mostly from the book of Ecclesiastes.

[whitec1981]

I have been listening to this song of yours this afternoon, I love it, one of my fav songs!!

[guitmartiman]

Well, this isn't really my song, it was written by Pete Seeger, and made popular by the Byrds, but I'm really glad you are ministered to by my rendition!

Uhhh Not sure, to be honest. But this is my favourite version.

I wish I could play it.

[marcellinasfigaro]

good job

thanks for sharing

[twiho]

Which one is original according to you?

[thrillathakilla]

This is really good, I prefer your version to the original. It sounds way better with an acoustic. I just wish I could put it on my iPod.

Still 5 stars =)
