Heaven's Grocery Store
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign that read:
As I got a little closer, the door came wide open, 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 the Grocery Store. And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more.
First I got some
Patience. Love was in the same row. Further down was
Understanding, you need that wherever you go.
I got a box of
Wisdom a bag or two of
Faith. I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, for He was all over the place. I stopped to get some
Strength and
Courage to help me win the race And though my basket was getting full, I remembered to get 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 the counter to pay the 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 into
sin. Peace and
Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Songs and
Praises 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 do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."
