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 just didn't ask'
I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on, grey 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'
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.
