Tim Hughes's song 'Ecclesiastes' reflects on the biblical theme that there is a season for everything, from tears and dancing to war and peace. The lyrics acknowledge life's varied experiences and the need for divine guidance through them all. The repeated plea for the Lord to take his hand and his commitment to follow expresses a posture of surrender and trust. The song also celebrates God's love as a constant presence in every breath and step, offering reassurance and direction. It is a worshipful meditation on finding meaning and purpose in every season of life.

There's a time for tears
And a time to dance
There's a time to let go
And a time for romance
There's a time for war
And a time for peace
There's a time to embrace
And a time to release
Oh my Lord I need to find
Take my hand and I will follow
There's a time to love
And a time to hate
All the evil choices that we make
It's a time to rise
And a time to fall
It's a time to keep
Or just throw at all
Oh my Lord I need to find
Take my hand and I will follow
Oh my Lord I need to find
Take my hand and I will follow
There's a time for singing...
Raise your voice and sing...
Your love in every breathe I take
In every step I make
Your love will shine on me
...
Take my hand, I will follow
