SHOP IN 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 standing everywhere.
And one angel 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 understanding, 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 He was all over the place.
I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race. By then my basket was getting full, but I remember I needed some grace.
I didn't forget SALVATION for salvation that was free.
so, I tried to get enough of that to SAVE you and me.
Then I started 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 just had to put that in.
For I knew when I stepped outside,I would run into sin.
Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last self. Song and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then,I said,"Now how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said,"Just take them everywhere you go."
"How much do I really owe?"
He smiled and said, My child,
JESUS paid your bill a long time ago.
