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 said: "But 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 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!
