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 toiled on grey 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
