Poem from Sunday's Sermon

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

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 lovely 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.
