I was walking down life's highway a long time ago, when 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 blanket and said, "My child, shop with care." Everything a Christian needed was 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, you needed everywhere you go. I got a box or two
of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH, I just couldn't miss that 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 basket 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 everyting to do my Master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and had to put that 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."
