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 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 servant, 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.
