There are seasons we welcome and seasons we wish we could skip. For those navigating loss, pain, uncertainty, or change, Joleah Tulagan’s new song, “A Time For Everything,” produced by Reverb Worship, offers a gentle reminder: it’s okay to take your time to feel and to heal.
Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1–11, the song reflects on life’s changing seasons and the assurance that God remains present through them all. Joleah first encountered the passage through a friend who was grieving the loss of a family member. When she heard it again at a funeral service, surrounded by mourners crying silently, its words took on a deeper meaning. She found herself thinking about how the passage could comfort those around her. “It was like a reminder that even though there are different times, different seasons, and different situations, we have the same God who stays with us through it all,” she shares.
She wrote the song the night after the funeral, turning that moment into comfort for people experiencing loss and other difficult times. “A Time For Everything” makes room for grief, reminding listeners they don't have to rush through it or carry it alone.
At its core, the song is about trusting God's timing. The closing lyric, “Yet He has made everything beautiful in its time,” points to a hope that doesn't depend on getting exactly what we prayed for. “‘Beautiful in its time’ doesn't necessarily mean that we will have the exact prayers or expectations we are asking God for,” she explains. “But we know that God will reveal His purpose and the beauty of each season in His own time.”
While grief is central to the song, Joleah hopes it also speaks to those anxious about the future, facing failure, navigating transitions, or simply finding themselves in a season they didn't expect.
“You're not alone. The Lord sees you, and the Lord knows what you're going through,” she encourages.
“A Time For Everything” invites listeners to stop rushing through the season they're in and rest in the assurance that the same God who is present in the joyful seasons is present in the painful ones, too.
