"Heaven's Grocery Store"
Heaven's Grocery Store
As I was walking down Life's highway many years ago
I came upon a sign that read Heaven's 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 person 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 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
Master's Will. As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and I put
that in, For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into Sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful, then last thing 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 Every Where
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".
