Heaven's Grocery
Store
I was walking down life's highway a
long time ago, When 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 that 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 up
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 I
had to put it in, For when I stepped outside, I
knew 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, "Now 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.".
