Heaven's 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 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 Christian needed was in that grocery store.
And all you couldn't carry, you could come back the next day for more.

First I got some Patience, Love was in the same row.
Further down was Understand, you need that everywhere you 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 run this race.
By them my basket was getting full, but I remembered I need some 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 counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and I just had to put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.

Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf,
Song and Praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then, I said to the angel, "Now, how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."

Again, I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe.?"
He smiled again and said,
"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago!"
