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.
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, it 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, but 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 that 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."
