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, 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, 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-that was free.
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up 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 praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
He smiled again and said,
"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."
