I was walking down life's highway, when it began to pour Then I noticed 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 basket and 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 that 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 every place.
I stopped to set some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run this race By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed GRACE I didn't forget SALVATION, for SALVATION, that was free, So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up 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 I just had to put that in, for I knew that when I walked outside, I would run right into Sin.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf SONGS and PRAISES were hanging near, so I just helped myself Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe?" He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go!"
Again I smiled at him and said "How much do I really owe?" He smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus paid your bill -- a long time ago"
