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 used all my keys 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.
