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 comeBack 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.
And then I chose salvation for Salvation was for Free 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 doI 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
