Heaven's Grocery Store

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 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 everwhere
you go,
I got a box or two of Wisdom, a bag or two of Faith,
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, for Salvation that was 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 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,
Song and Praise 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 smiled at him and said, how much, now do I really
Owe?

He smiled again and said, "MY CHILD JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A
LONG TIME AGO."
