As I was walking Down life's highway I came upon a Sign 'Heavens Grocery Store'. When I got a little closer The doors swung open wide Now I was standing inside.. I saw a host of Angels. 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 come Back for more First I got some Patience. Love was also In the 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.. And then some Strength And Courage to Help me run this race. My basket was Getting full But I remembered I needed Grace, 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, 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 do I owe?' He smiled and Said 'Just take them Everywhere you go.' But.... 'How much do I Owe?' 'My child' he Said , 'God paid your bill A long long time Ago.'......... |
