Lyrics
Verse 1
Time has always had a way of changing
Things I always wish
I had a say in
But like the rain
You can't control it's falling
The years they come
And go without us knowing
Chorus 1
You
You know me better than I do
You see it from a clearer view
In Your time
Chorus 2
You see it like I wish I could
All Your plans for me are good
In Your time
In Your time
Verse 2
Time has made a fool of my arrangements
Traded all my planning for Your patience
A wine opened in haste
Would never age well
So I'll wait on time
As long as I am able
Chorus 3
You make everything so beautiful
Everything so beautiful in it's time
Chorus 3
You make everything so beautiful
Everything so beautiful in it's time
In it's time

Meaning & Inspiration
Time reflects on the limits of human control and the wisdom of trusting God with what cannot be arranged. The changing years, falling rain, and plans undone all point to a life that does not unfold by command. Against that uncertainty, the song presents God as the one with the clearest view. His knowledge is steadier than personal understanding, and His plans are described as good even when their shape is not yet visible.
The image of wine opened too soon gives patience a concrete meaning: some good things require waiting rather than haste. That thought closely echoes Ecclesiastes 3:11, where God makes everything beautiful in its time. The repeated phrase also turns surrender into hope rather than passivity. Instead of denying disappointment, the song places unfinished plans within divine timing. Its central confession is that waiting can rest on the character of God, whose perspective reaches beyond the present moment and whose care remains trustworthy.
