Heaven’s grocery store - Poem
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 the 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 couldn’t miss the Holy 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 some grace.
I didn’t forget salvation for salvation is 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 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.
Songs and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, “Now, how much do I owe?”
He just smiled and said “Just take them everywhere you go”,
Again I said, “How much do I really owe?”
He smile again and said,
“My child, Jesus paid your bill a long, long time ago!”
