Shopping In Heaven's Grocery Store


I was walking down life's highway a long time ago,
And one day I saw a sign that read HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE.

As I got a little closer, the door came open wide,
And suddenly I found myself standing there inside.

I saw a host of angels... they were standing everywhere,
And one angel said, "My child, shop with mindful care;

Everything a Christian needs is in this grocery store,
And whatever you can't carry, just come again for more."

First I got some patience, love was in the same row,
Further down was understanding, needed everywhere I go;

I got a box of wisdom and two bags of faith,
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, He was all over the place.

I paused to pick up some strength and courage to help me run the race,
By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed grace.

I didn't forget salvation, because it was absolutely free,
So I tried to get enough to save you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
I thought by then I had everything to do my Master's will.

But as I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and just had to put that in,
Because I knew when I stepped outside I would run right into sin.

Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the very last shelf,
Songs and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.

Then I said, Now how much do I owe?"
The clerk said, "Just take all these everywhere you go."

"No," I said, "how much do I really owe?"
He smiled, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago!"
