I woke up early this morning and rushed right into the day

I had so much to accomplish that i didnt have time to pray

Problems just tumbled around me and heavier came each task

Why does'nt God help me i wondered , he answered you didnt ask

I wanted to see joy and beauty but the day toiled on gray and bleek

I wondered why God didnt show me , he said but you didnt seek

I tried to come into God's presence , i used all the keys for the lock

God gently and lovingly chided , my child you didnt knock

I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day

I had so much to accomplish so i stop to take the time to pray .
