 
The Kingdom Grocery Store
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that said the Kingdom Grocery Store.
I got a little close and the door opened wide -
When I came to myself I was standing inside.
I saw a host of storekeepers standing everywhere,
One handed me a basket and said to shop with care.
Everything a Christian needs was in that grocery store.
What you couldn't carry today, you could come back
for more.
First, I got some love and joy;they were in the
same row,
Further down was peace,you need it everywhere you go.
I reached for a box of longsuffering,and there a
bag of kindness laid.
And I just couldn't miss goodness for it was all
over the place.
Then I took some faith and mildness to help me win
the race.
Now my basket was really getting heavy from the load,
But I remembered that I must;have some self control.
I didn't forget the Kingdom Truth,for the Kingdom
Truth was free,
So I tried to get enough of them,some for you and
some for me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do the Master's will.
As I went through the aisle,I say a little prayer,
I just had to put that in too give God all my cares.
Hope and endurance were plentiful;they were on the
last shelf.
Songs and praises were standing near,so I just had
to help myself.
Kingdom Service was in every aisle so I took some
for each day,
The grocer said "This is one you will keep as long
as you give it away."
Now I went to the storekeeper and asked,"How much
do I owe?"
He just smiled and said,"Take them with you
everywhere you go."
"Really",I said,"How much do I owe?"
He smiled at me and said,
"My dear friend,Jesus Christ paid your bill a long time ago."
