You who have ears pray drink thee of my message
Counsel in your hearts the words of my song

In time past, I have considered
If life is worth the living
To everything there is a season
Time to be born then die

Questioned I is life worth living
This I must know said I
Set out I upon my journey
I found despair in the hearts of men
Man killing his brother
Wars from the beginning of time

All I found under the sun
Was vanity of man's mind
In my search I found folly
Working wisely at earthly chores
She was empty and useless
Her portion your just reward

So I turned and I considered
Was there really a Lord
Well I called upon the name of the Lord
He opened to me the gates of righteousness
Graciously He rendered me love
Touched me with understanding

Set me in His courts of praise
Gave me life for eternal days
Behold how good and how pleasant
It is for brothers to dwell together
In the unity of the Lord
Like a precious ointment poured

Running down my face and beard
Wiping away all my fears
All the rivers run into the sea
Yet the sea it is not full
Unto the place from which the rivers come
To there and from there they return

Does your life have meaning
Say I this you must learn
Now I'll close, thank you for listening
Seek in wisdom and you to shall find
Purpose to life and meaning in a world of troubled times
Peace that passes understanding
Unity with the Divine
