As I was walking down life’s highway
many years ago, I came upon a sign that read
Heaven’s Grocery Store.
When I got a little closer,
the doors swung open wide, And when I came to myself,
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 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 in that 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.
I couldn’t miss the Holy Ghost.
It was all over the place. 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. For I thought I had everything
to do the Master’s will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer
and put that in. For I knew when I stepped outside,
I would run right 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.”
Again, I asked, “Really now,
how much do I owe?” “My child,” he said,
“God paid your bill a long, long time ago.”
