I was questioning God "Why?" the whole time for the things that had happened in my life. During i was in Chapel service, the preacher asked ud to stand and to sing along with him "In His time". I was so happy because of this song. This song encouraged me. This song lets me to be humble. Thank you God and to the song writer and the singers.

This song really meant a lot to me..in ever heard this song for a long time until Nov 6,2016 at my church a day before we drop off my son at the recruiting place for Basic training in Air Force.. I use to sing this song to my son 18 years ago while breastfeeding him during my lowest time of my life... I sing and pray to God and sure enough God really makes all things beautiful in his time..

I did not have an opportunity of going to school in my childhood even when I loved it so much as grow old and got married. I joined high school when i was 32 years and at 37 i finished high school and at 42 years am graduating BBA/Accounting this year in October and as I was thinking of what to say in my speech, this song came into my mind. He makes all things beautiful in his time. Let us wait unto the Lord. It is a beautiful song.

I woke up one morning to this hymn playing in my head. I have been struggling waiting for God to reveal truths to my daughter about a relationship she is in. I know God has perfect timing for how He will do this. But I get scared. I know I need to trust. Trust and wait on HIS timing, not my timing. I am praying that He please reveal His truths before the relationship progresses further. I am heartbroken right now. It's in His hands and in His timing.

Iam going through a very tough time. it has been hard for me to wait upon the LORD.so many mixed emotions bordering to confusion. This week i was looking for another song to minister to my broken spirit, and this one played after. It has been a blessing during this time of waiting upon GOD. some how waiting is easier and I believe as the song goes in HIS time GOD will make all things beautiful and it will be worth all the waiting. I encourage those who are waiting to play this song prayerfully.

This hymn came to my heart during my devotion and have meditated on it through out the day. This evening I decide to add this stanza. I will be posting it on my facebook page. Thanks for the hymn. It has encouraged my heart to hold on to God's promises no matter what may be happening physically around me.

In God's time, in God's time,

God created all things in His time.

Lord, make me what You want me to be.

May each request I have to ask

Be answered according to Your will, in Your time.

God bring this song to me anytime I wonder about some things I don't have answers to in my life. He didn't forget His promises that He made many years ago. He make all things beautiful in His time!

Janie, did you read Joann's comment above? It sounds like a pretty good source for your answer.

Do you have any information about the history behind "In His Time," any story about why Diane Ball wrote the song? Thank you!

My husband & I are looking to follow God's leading into pastoring in a church. I have been having a

hard time waiting. Just this morning God gave me some verses on waiting , trusting & being content in whatsoever state I am in. Later this song came to me. I found this blog as I looked for the words.

Thanks for that story Joann. It is sometimes hard to remember that God does keep his promises.

In the 80s, I was visiting my daughter in Hawaii and Diane Ball was at a Bible Class that we attended at a friend's house. We were discussing our prayer requests and I told the group that I had been praying for my husband to stop drinking for about 23 years and I added that I would keep praying because God tells us in scripture "In an acceptable time have I heard you..", Isaiah, 49.8. Diane Ball picked up her guitar and said that was what I was thinking about when I wrote this song and she sang "In His time" for us. It was so beautiful and I often played it by the Maranatha Singers as I prayed. I would like to report that my husband stopped drinking in 1994 because the doctor told us that he would have a stroke if he didn't stop drinking. My husband told me that he remembered when I took care of his mother after she had a stroke in 1969 and he couldn't put me through that again. So, after drink heavily from 1959 to 1994, he has never had another drink to this day; it was the acceptable time God always keeps His promises.

I was on staff at Springs of Living Water Conference Center when the Lord gave this song, melody and lyrics... it was in the 70's. Her father Cecil Cooper and wife Lillian were founders and directors of the Springs which later merged with YWAM. Diane was on her way to an Aglow meeting in Kelseyville, Ca.,...as speaker, was late, driving many miles, and she heard not only the melody but the words as she drove with her husband Jay. Later Marantha held a songwriters conference at the Springs and that is when they accepted her song and it has gone from there.

I decided to check the lyrics of this song on net because the song kept on singing in my heart. I believe the Lord wants to do a beautiful thing in my life. I shall testify as soon as it happen.

It is such a beautiful song to minister to the Lord at my present situation.

God bless you.

My suspicion is that people like their stuff published even better if you provide a link to where someone could buy their stuff.

That said, I'm not sure anyone's ever going to sue you over this blog post. The Wikipedia entry on Fair Use cites US law as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

   1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;  

   2. the nature of the copyrighted work;  

   3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and  

   4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

You're probably in trouble with #3 but probably out of trouble with #4 - though with this blog entry near the top of Google on searches for "in his time diane ball" I might be wrong.

Now, if you are making money from this blog post, you're definitely in trouble - but I'll wager that making money off these lyrics was the furthest thing from your mind when you posted it.

You would have to talk with the copyright holder, which is not me. (and perhaps they wouldn't want me to publish it here either, but I usually figure people like their stuff published to further more interest in their work, but maybe that's just because I believe in open source)

May I have your permission to copy the words of this song in a book I am writing for Papua New Guinea? I will give your name and date with it.

I find the date it was posted much more meaningful than the date it was written... and yes, I noticed the google ranking too. I guess that shows one of google's weaknesses: the top hit is not necessarily the most informative.

Where did you get that year from? I have it as 1978, but I suppose that is a copyright date with a publisher, so maybe it was written before that?

(interesting to note that our blog is the number 1 hit in google for "In His Time")
