Time


Ecclesiastes 3:11 New English Translation (NET Bible)

11 God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time,
but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart
so that people cannot discover what God has ordained,
from the beginning to the end of their lives.

 

Time

 

A day at a time and a jump in the date

Why do we count life in years?

It defines very well history’s place

As we try to figure out why we’re here

 

In archeology one is lost in time somewhere

So they skip years as they are guessing

They stack millions here and everywhere

Time itself and God’s Creation perplexing
