The Power of Prayer

I got up early one morning, rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish, I had no time to pray.

Problems just tumbled around me, 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; the day toiled on gray and bleak.
I wondered why GOD didn’t show me; He said, “You didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into GOD’s Presence, used all my keys at the lock.
Gently and lovingly HE chided, “My child, you didn’t knock.”

I woke up early this morning, paused before entering the day,
I had so much to accomplish, I had to take time to pray.
