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 theHOLY 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 plentiful; 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 TIME AGO."
"ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YOU SHALL RECEIVE." (MATTHEW 21:22)
