Heaven’s Grocery Store

I was walking down 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 basket and said;

‘My child, shop with care’

Everything a Christian needed was in the grocery store,

And all you couldn’t carry, you come back 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, a bag or two of Faith.

I 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 some Grace.

I didn’t forget Salvation for Salvation is free,

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

Then I started up 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 just had to put that in,

For I know 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 helped myself.

Then I said to the Angel, ‘Now how much do I owe?’

He Just smiled and said ‘just take them everywhere you go.’

Again I said ‘How much do I really owe?’

He smiles again and said…

‘My Child, Jesus paid your Bill a long, long time ago!’
