 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 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 Masters Will.
As I went up the Aisle I saw Prayer and Put that in ,
For I knew when I Stepped outside 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.'
