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 around me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why wouldn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered "You 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 tried 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 to the day
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
