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.
So 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, "JESUS paid your bill a long time ago."
