Too Hurried

“But one thing is needful” (Luke 10:42).

I hurried through a prayer today,

And read a verse or two;

I thought I’d done my duty,

And it would see me through.

All day I struggled, nothing worked,

No matter what I’d do;

I knew it was because I had,

My Lord, neglected You.

I had no power to confess,

Thy name to those I met;

I had no joy, I was ashamed,

And worry made me fret.

Lord, teach me then to start my day,

In company with Thee;

To find the time to read and pray…

A healthy Christian be.
