I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket and said, "My child, please shop with care."
Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store,
All all you couldn't carry...you could sure come back for more!"
First I got some PATIENCE, and LOVE was in every row,
Further down was KINDNESS, you need that wherever you go.
I got a box or two of WISDOM, and a bag or two of FAITH.
I just couldn't miss the HOLY SPIRIT,
for it was all over the place.

I stopped to get some SELF CONTROLand ENDURANCE to help me run the race,
By then my basket was getting full, so I thanked Jehovah for his grace
I didn't forget GOODNESS for that was free!
So again I thanked Jehovah for providing it for me.

Then I started for the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do my master's will
But as I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in.
For I knew that once I stepped outside, I'd run right into sin!

PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf
SONG and PRAISE were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Than I said to the angel, "How much do I owe?"
He smiled and said, "Just take your basket to each door that you go."

Again, I looked at him and asked, "How much do I really owe?"
He smiled again and said, "My child, Christ Jesus paid your bill a long, long time ago.
So, leaving the store, I pause at the door What better bargain can there be...
Than our loving God, Jehovah, offering everlasting life for free.
