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
So 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."
