There are times
you are just in the mood. It could be a happy mood, a sad mood or even a moody
mood (Lols… whatever that means) and you begin to wonder if you are okay at all
because in our eyes, everyone is in the normal mood. This got me thinking and I
asked myself if there is anything as “normal mood”.
As always, I
would like to know your opinion on this: is there anything as normal mood and
when is a mood really considered as normal?
You know how
they say like father like son, this time lemme rephrase it and say “like blog
mother like blog son”. My blog mother loves hymns so much and she is fund of
sharing her favourite hymns on her blog [Check it out Here]. I would like to take a cue from her and share a hymn
here – in the spirit of the diverse moods and changing moods.
This hymn was made popular by The Byrds in the 1960's and it has been sung in various versions… It has a biblical reference too.
"Turn! Turn! Turn!"
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 that 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!
Hope you
Don't you just love the hymn? I hope it spoke to you specially? I am glad I shared.
Now, I would love to
share call credit of choice to the first person that tells us the biblical
reference of this hymn. *SmileS* …In the Spirit of Eup’s Blogversary.
Cheers!

DeleteI could have been first. Ah! nice one. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. I suppose moods are like seasons at the times in our lives Ugo.
ReplyDeleteThere is even a time as this when you just feeel like singing hymns.
DeleteThanks for your comment... you could have been the first, but I guess not this season. lols
I like that hymn coz of the biblical reference as Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I think being in a normal mood means when someone is happy and just generally "ok". That's how I see it.
