Heaven's Grocery Store
Author Unknown
I was walking down life's highway, a long time ago.
When 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 there inside.
I saw a host of angels, who were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said, "Remember, shop with care."
Everything a Christian needs, was in the grocery store.
And if you couldn't carry it all, you could return for more.
First, I got some patience, and love was in the next row.
Further down was understanding, I need that everywhere I go.
I got a bow or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith,
I couldn't miss the Holy Spirit, He was all around the place.
I didn't forget salvation, since it happened to be free.
I tried to get enough of that, to save both you and me.
I stopped to get strength and courage, to help me run this race.
My basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some grace.
As I started to the counter, to do my Master's will.
But then I just saw some prayer and just had to put that in.
for I knew when I stepped outside, I'd run right into sin.
Peace and joy were plentiful, They were on the last shelf.
Song and praise were near, so I helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, "Well how much do I owe?"
He smiled and said, "Take them wherever you go."
Again, I smiled at him and said, "How much do I REALLY owe?"
"My child," he said, "Jesus paid your bill a long long time ago."
