HEAVEN'S 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 basket and said,
" My Child
shop with care".
Everything
a Christian needed was in that grocery store.
And all
you couldn't carry, you could come back the next
day for
more.
First, I
got some PATIENCE:
LOVE was
in the same row.
Further
down was UNDERSTANDING:
You need
that 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,
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
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 the
MASTER'S will.
As I went
up the aisle, I saw PRAYER:
And I just
had to put that in,
For I knew
when I stepped outside,
I would
run into sin.
PEACE AND
JOY were plentiful;
They were
last 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
smiled and said,
"How much
do I really owe?"
He smiled
again and said,
" MY CHILD,
JESUS PAID YOUR BILL
A LONG,
LONG TIME AGO."
