Heaven's Grocery Store

As I was walking along "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.
There was 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 for more.
First, I got some Patience, Love that was in the same row.
Farther down was Understanding, something you need everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom, and a bag or two of Faith.
I stopped for Strength and Courage to help me run this race.
Though my basket was nearly full, I remembered I needed Grace.
I didn't forget Salvation, for Salvation that was free.
So I tried to get enough for both you and me.
Then I started up the aisle, I saw Prayer and I just 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.
Songs of Praise were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel "How much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said "JUST TAKE THEM EVERYWHERE YOU GO".
Again, I asked the Angel, "How much do I really owe?"
Still smiling he said "MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL LONG AGO."
