"I Didn't Have Time"

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 didn'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.
