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 the 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
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.
