    "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 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 the next 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 it was all over the place.
    I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE
    To help me run this race.
    By then my basket was getting full,
    But I remembered I needed some GRACE.
    I didn't forget SALVATION,
    For SALVATION 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 the MASTER'S Will.
    As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER:
    And I just had to put that in,
    For I knew when I stepped outside,
    I would run into Sin.
    PEACE AND JOY were plenty
    They were last 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 smiled and said,
    "How much do I really owe?"
    He smiled again and said,
    "MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL
    A LONG, LONG TIME AGO."
