I Need to Go Shopping

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 blanket 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.

First, I got some Patience, 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, it was all over the place. 

I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race, 

but then my blanket 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. 

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 had to put it 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, "How much do I owe"? 

The Angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go." 

Again, I politely asked "How much do I really owe?" 

The Angel smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill

A Long Time Ago."
