Heaven's Grocery Store
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.
They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said,
"My child, shop with care.
Everything a Christian needs
Is in that grocery store,
And all you can't carry ...
Come back the next day for more."
LOVE was in the same row.
Further down was UNDERSTANDING,
Needed 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 He was all over the place.
COURAGE to help me run this race;
But then my basket was getting full,
And I remembered I needed GRACE.
I didn't forget SALVATION,
Which like the others was free,
So I tried to get enough of that
To save both you and me.
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 had to put it in,
For I knew when I stepped outside,
I would run right into SIN.
They were on the last shelf.
SONG and PRAISES,
So I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel,
"How much do I owe?"
The Angel smiled and said,
"Just take them everywhere you go!"
"How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said,
"MY CHILD ...
JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A
LONG TIME AGO!"
