The difference
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.
