Pray

I got up early one morning

And rushed into the day

I had so much to accomplish

That I didn’t have time to pray.

Problems came tumbling about me

And heaver came each task

Why doesn’t God help me, I wondered

He answered “You didn’t ask.”

I wanted to see Hoy and beauty

But the day dragged on gray and bleak

I wondered why God didn’t show me

He said, “You didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into God’s presence

I used all my keys at the lock

God gently and loving chided

“My child you didn’t knock.”

So I awoke early this morning

And paused before entering the day

I had so much to accomplish

That I had to take time to pray.
