Don't Forget To Pray
I woke up early bright one morning,
And rushed into my day...
I had so much to accomplish,
I didn't make time to pray...
Soon problems mounted
Things got harder with each task...
As I wondered why God didn't help me,
He said, because you didn't ask...
Then it came back to me
The one thing I forgot to do...
Get on my knees and pray to God,
Ask Him to see me through
Now I share a reminder,
That serves me to this day...
Before I even get out of bed,
I don't forget to pray
