The Difference

 

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 starting the day:

I had so much to accomplish

That I had to take time to pray.
