JJ Heller's rendition of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" is a gentle, folk-inspired interpretation of the classic song, which draws its lyrics almost entirely from Ecclesiastes 3. The song reflects on the cyclical nature of life, acknowledging that there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. Heller's soft, soothing delivery emphasizes the peace that comes from trusting God's timing through all of life's changes, from birth and death to love and war. The song encourages listeners to find hope and rest in the belief that God orchestrates every season, making it a comforting and reflective piece.

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
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
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
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
