I got up early one morning,
and - rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
that I didnt have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesnt God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didnt ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on grey and bleak;
I wondered why God didnt 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 dear, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish,
but I made myself time to pray.
