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.
One handed me a blanket and said,
"My Child shop with care".
Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store,
and all you can't carry, come back the next day for more
First, I got some Patience,
Love was in the same row.
Further down was Understanding,
needed everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom,
a bag or two of Faith,
I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost,
He was all over the place.
I stopped to get some Strength and Courage,
to help me run this race,
but then my blanket was getting full,
and I remembered I needed Grace
I didn't forget Salvation,
which like the others was free,
so I tried to get enough of that,
to save both you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to do my master's will.
As I went up the aisle,
I saw Prayer and had to put it 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.
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."
