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 take 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.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:  but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
I Peter 3:12
