I was walking down life's highway a long time ago,
one day I saw a sign that read "Heavens 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 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."
