最近五月天樂團，發表一首歌曲「諾亞方舟」，雖然和聖經所講的諾亞方舟一點關係都沒有，但是借用基督教文化中熟悉的詞彙，讓人感到親切。聽說周杰倫前些日子，因為交了一位基督徒姊妹，所以也信主了，希望他是來真的，哪一天，可以發表一曲不但有信仰內涵又有宣示真理的歌曲，而且能讓年輕人容易接觸福音。
那，能夠把嚴肅的聖經經文，放到音樂裡面，讓大家朗朗上口，而且成為經典歌曲，我想Byrds的Turn!Turn!Turn!將會前無古人，希望不會後無來者。
這首歌真的好聽又發人深省，可說從小聽到大，第一次喜歡這首歌的時候還是國中生，還去買了專輯錄音帶，當時當然不知道歌詞原來是來自聖經。這首歌曾是全美流行音樂「告示牌」排行榜冠軍，最主要原因是單曲發行的60年代，正是美國的反戰風潮，反戰、和平是當時創作樂團的基調，Bob Dylan 和 Bryds都是後來漸漸成為美國民謠的代表，因為他們總是唱出老百姓的心聲。這首歌，也收錄在1995年電影「阿甘正傳」中，場景就是和平廣場上的五十萬人反戰示威。
來看看聖經原文和歌詞吧！
傳道書三章1-8節
（King James Version）
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
（中文和合本）
1 凡事都有定期，天下萬務都有定時。
2 生有時，死有時；栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時；
3 殺戮有時，醫治有時；拆毀有時，建造有時；
4 哭有時，笑有時；哀慟有時，跳舞有時；
5 拋擲石頭有時，堆聚石頭有時；懷抱有時，不懷抱有時；
6 尋找有時，失落有時；保守有時，捨棄有時；
7 撕裂有時，縫補有時；靜默有時，言語有時；
8 喜愛有時，恨惡有時；爭戰有時，和好有時。
