Heavens 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 just inside.

I saw a host of Angels, they were standing everywhere.

One handed me a basket, and said, “My child, please shop with care”

Everything a Christian needed was in that Grocery Store.

And all you couldn’t carry you could sure come back for more.

First I got some patience. Love was in the same row.

Further down was understanding you need it wherever you may 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 on this race.

By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed Grace.

I didn’t forget Salvation, for Salvation that was free!.

So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.

Then I started up to the corner to pay my bill.

For I thought I had everything to do my Father’s will.

But as I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and I just had to put that in.

Peace and Joy were plentiful; they were on the last shelf.

Song and Praise were hanging near, so I just helped myself.

Then I said to the Angel, “How much do I owe?”

He smiled and said, “just take your basket wherever you may go”.


Again I looked at him and said, “How much do I owe?”


He smiled again and said, “My friend, Jesus paid your bill long ago.”
