HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store.
As I got a little closer the door came open wide And when I came to myself I was standing inside. I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere And handed me a basket and said my child, shop with care.
Everything a Christian needs was in that Grocery Store And all you could not carry you could come back the next day for more.
First, I got some patience and love was in the same row, Farther down was understanding, you need that everywhere you go.
I got a little box or two of wisdom and a bag or two of faith, I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost for it was all over the place.
I got some strength and courage to help me run this race, And by then my basket was getting full, But then I remembered I needed some grace. I didnt forget salvation, it was free, So, I tried to get enough to save both you and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay the grocery bill, For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.
As I went up the aisle I saw prayer, I just had to put that in, For I knew when I stepped out I'd run right into sin. Peace and joy was plentiful, they were on the last shelf, Some were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, "How much do I owe?" He just smiled and said, just take them everywhere you go.
I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?" He smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."
