Grocery Store
As I was walking down life's highway many
years ago, I came upon a sign that read Heavens Grocery Store. When I got a
little closer the doors swung 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 human needed was in that
grocery store And what you could not carry you could come back for more. First I
got some Patience. Love was in that same row. Further down was Understanding,
you need that everywhere you go. I got a box or two of Wisdom and Faith - a bag
or two. And Charity of course I would need some of that too. I couldn't miss the
Holy Ghost It was all over the place. And then some Strength and Courage to help
me run this race. My basket was getting full but I remembered I needed Grace,
And then I chose Salvation for Salvation was for free So I tried to get enough
of that to do for you and me. Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery
bill, For I thought I had everything to do the Master's will. As I went up the
aisle I saw Prayer and put that in, For I knew when I stepped out side I would
run into sin. Peace and Joy were plentiful, the last things on the shelf. Song
and Praise were hanging near so I just helped myself. Then I said to the angel
"Now how much do I owe?" He smiled and said "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I asked "Really now, How much do I owe?" "My child " he said, "God paid
your bill a long long time ago."
