TWO FOR TUESDAY


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Turn Turn Turn
The Byrds
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to 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
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

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
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

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
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

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


Eight Miles High
The Byrds
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You’ll find that it’s
Stranger than known

Signs in the street
That say where you goin’
Are somewhere
Just being their own

Nowhere is
There’s warmth to be found
Among those afraid
Of losing their ground

Rain gray town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces abound

Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms

Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing alone

  1. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! I was shocked to find that The Byrds formed in Los Angeles. For I thought they were one of the great British bands that "invaded" back in the 60's.

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear BadGal!!! Yeah, it's a given that you would love The Byrds. For you know great music, and since this site hasn't melted-down yet, I suppose I can stop shaking now. (LOL?)

  8. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! Yes, Turn Turn Turn is indeed a very special song. For it is almost word for word with Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

  9. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I am the same way with The Byrds, and "So You Want To Be A Rock and Roll Star" is the only other song by them that I am very familiar with.
