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
"Now 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."
