Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7)
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 tumbling 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 early this morning
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray
