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 I went inside.
I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere.
One of them handed me a basket and said,
"My child, shop with care.
Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store,
But you can't carry all of them away at a time,
Come back the next day for more."

First, I got some patience, love was in the same row.
Further down was understanding, needed wherever you go.
I got a box or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith.
I simply couldn't miss the Holy Spirit, as it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some strength and courage too
But then my blanket was getting full,
Yet I remembered I needed grace.

I didn't forget salvation,
Which I thought to be of the same price as the others,
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I headed towards the cashier to pay my grocery bill.
As I went up the aisle,
I saw prayer and put it into my basket immediately,
For I knew once I stepped outside the store,
I would run right into sin.
Peace and joy were plentiful, and they were on the last shelf.
Song and praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself.

Then I said to the angel, "How much do I owe"?
The angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again, I politely asked, "How much do I really owe?"
The angel smiled again and said,

"My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill A Long Time Ago."
