HEAVEN GROCERY STORE

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago ....

One day I saw a sign that read: HEAVEN GROCERY STORE.

As I got a little closer, the door became opened 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 Christian needed was in that grocery store,

And all you couldn't carry,

you could come back the next day for more.

First, I got some Patience;

Love was in the same row.

Further down was Understanding,

You need that everywhere you go.

I got a box or two of Wisdom,

I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost,

For it was all over the place.

I stopped to get some Strength and Courage,

To help me run this race.

By then, my basket was getting full,

But I remembered I needed some Grace.

I didn't forget Salvation because Salvation, that was free!

So I tried to get enough to save both you and me.

Then I started up to the counter,

To pay my grocery's bill.

For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.

As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer

And I just had to put that in.

For I knew when I stepped outside,

I would run right into sin.

Peace and Joy were plentiful,

They were on the last shelf.

Songs and Praises were hanging near,

So I just help 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 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."
