Heavens Grocery Store

I was walking down 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 host of Angels
they were standing everywhere
One handed me a blanket and said "My Child shop with care"

Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store
And all you can't carry come back the next day 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 just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost it was all over the place I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race
But then my blanket was getting full and I remembered I needed Grace

I didn't forget Salvation which like the others 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 everything to 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 right into sin

Peace and Joy were plentiful they were on the last shelf
Song 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 politely asked "How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said "My Child Jesus Paid Your Bill A Long Time Ago"
