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 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
