-heaven grocery store-

i was walking down life's highway a long time ago,

and one day i saw a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery Store".

as i got a little close the door came 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 Christian needs is in this grocery store.

and if you could not carry them all, you can come back for more".

first i got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row.

further down was UNDERSTANDING, needed everywhere you go.

i got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH,

i couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, He was all over the place.

i stopped to get some STRENGTH & 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 that was free.

so i tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.

then i started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,

for i thought i had everythingto do my Master's will.

as i went up the aisle, i saw PRAYER and had to put it 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, " HOw much do i owe?"

the Angel 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!"
