Shop in 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. And one angel 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 he was all over the place. I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race. But then by basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some grace. I didn't forget salvation, for salvation that was free. So, I tried to get enough of that to save 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 just 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, How much do I owe? He just smiled and said just take them everywhere you go. How much do I really owe? He smiled and said, My child Jesus paid your bill a long time ago.
