I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day,
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier came each task,
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered
He answered, "You didn't ask".
I wanted to see joy and beauty
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak,
I wondered why God didn't show me,
He said, "But you didn't seek"
I tried to come into God's presence,
I tried every key in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock"
I woke up early this morning
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
