DEDICATED TO MY GRANDMOTHER



HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE

As I was walking down life's highway
many years ago
I came upon a sign that read
Heavens Grocery Store.
When I got a little closer
the doors swung 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 human needed
was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry
you could come back for more.
First I got some Patience.
Love was in that same row.
Further down was Understanding,
you need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom
and Faith a bag or two.
And Charity, of course,
I would need some of that, too.
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost
It was all over the place.
And then some Strength and Courage
to help me run this race.
My basket was getting full
but I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for
Salvation was for free
I tried to get enough of that
to do for you and me.
Then I started to the counter
to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything
to do the Masters will.
As I went up the aisle I saw
Prayer and put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside
I would run into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful,
the last things on the shelf.
Song and Praise were hanging near
so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel
"How much do I owe?"
He smiled and said
"Just take them everywhere you go.
"Again I asked "Really now,
how much do I owe?"
"My child" he said,
"God paid your bill a long,
long time ago.

CHORUS
Jesus never fails,
Jesus never fails,
Heaven and earth
may pass away,
But Jesus never fails.



CHORUS
My Lord knows the Way
through the wilderness.
All I have to do is follow.
My Lord knows the Way
through the wilderness.
All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today,
Is mine all the way,
And all that I need for tomorrow.
My Lord knows the Way
through the wilderness.
All I have to do is follow.



I received a gift,
A gift so precious and unique.
Salvation, blessings, and eternal life
From one so gentle, loving, and meek,
My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Whom you ought to go and seek.

Choruses sang to me by my grandmother
when I was a child, and the poem was
one of her favorites.
