I got up early one morning
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
I woke up early this 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 anwsered, "You didn't ask."
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 used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
