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 Gods presence
I used all my keys at the lock
God gentley 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
