    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 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.
