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 needs is in that grocery store, And all you can't carry, come back the next day for more.
First, I got some Patience, Love was in the same row. Further down was Understanding, needed 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, it was all over the place. I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race, But then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I needed Grace.
I didn't forget Salvation, which like the others was free, So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started 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 had to put it in, For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. Song and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe"? The Angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go." Again, I politely asked "How much do I really owe?" The Angel smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill A Long Time Ago."
