I GOT UP EARLY ONE MORNING
AND RUSHED RIGHT INTO THE DAY
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PRAY
TROUBLES JUST TUMBLED ABOUT ME
AND HEAVIER CAME EACH TASK
WHY DOESN'T GOD HELP ME I WONDERED?
HE ANSWERED, "YOU DIDN'T ASK !"
I TRIED TO COME INTO GOD'S PRESENCE
I USED ALL THE KEYS AT THE LOCK
GOD LOVINGLY AND GENTLY CHIDED
"WHY CHILD, YOU DIDN'T KNOCK!"
I WANTED TO SEE JOY AND BEAUTY
BUT THE DAY TOILED ON GREY AND BLEAK
I ASKED GOD FOR THE REASON
AND HE SAID, "CHILD YOU DIDN'T SEEK!"
I GOT UP EARLY THIS MORNING
AND PAUSED BEFORE ENTERING THE DAY
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
I HAD TO TAKE TIME TO PRAY !
