Heaven's Grocery Store
I was walking along life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read;
"Heaven's Grocery Store."
As I got a little closer, the door came open wide;
and when I came to myself, I was standing inside.
I saw a lotof angels, they were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said:
"My child shop with care."
Everything a person needed was in that grocery store,
and all you couldn't carry you could come back that next day 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 spirit, for it
was all over the place.
I stopped to get some strength and courage,
to help me run this race.
By then my basket was getting full,
but I remembered I needed some grace.
I didn't forget salvation for salvation is free.
I tried to get enough of that to save both you an me.
Then I started to go up to the counter,
to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had enough of everything to do my master's will.
As I went up the aisle I saw a prayer, and
I just had to put it in,
for I knew when I stepped outside,
I would run right into sin.
Peace and joy were plentiful,
they were on the last self.
Song and praise were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel,
"How much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said,
"Take them everywhere you go."
Again I smiled and said,
"How much do I really owe?"
He smiled and said,
"My child the good Lord paid your bill a long time ago."
