Heavens
Grocery Store
As
I was walking down life's
highway many years ago
I came upon a sign that read
Heavens Grocery Store
When
I got a little closer
the doors swung open wide
And when I came to myself
I was standing inside
I saw a host of angels
They were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket and said
"My child shop with care."
Everything
a human needed
was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry
you could come back for more
First I got some Patience
Love was in that same row
Further down was Understanding
you need that everywhere you go
I
got a box or two of Wisdom
and Faith a bag or two
And Charity of course
I would need some of that too
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost
It was all over the place
And then some Strength and Courage
to help me run this race
My
basket was getting full but
I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for
Salvation was for free
I tried to get enough of that
to do for you and me.
Then I started to the counter
to pay my grocery bill
For
I thought I had everything
to do the Masters will
As I went up the aisle I saw
Prayer and put that in
For I knew when I stepped outside
I would run into sin
Peace
and Joy were plentiful
the last things on the shelf
Song and Praise were hanging near
so I just helped myself
Then I said to the angel "Now how much
do I owe?" He smiled and said
"Just take them everywhere you go"
Again
I asked
"Really now, How much do I owe?"
"My child" he said
"God paid your bill a long time ago"
