Heaven's Grocery Store

1/10/2018

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 Brocery bill,

For I thought I had everything to do my 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 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?

He just smiled and said, just take them everwhere you go.

Again, I smiled at him and said, how much, now do I really owe?

He smiled again and said, “MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO.”
