>> As I was walking
>> down life's highway
>> many years ago
>>
>> I came upon a
>> sign that read
>>
>> Heavens Grocery Store.
>>
>> When I got a
>> little closer
>>
>> the doors swung
>> 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
>> human needed
>>
>> was in that
>> grocery store
>>
>> And what you
>> could not carry
>>
>> you could come
>> back for more
>>
>> First I got some
>> Patience.
>>
>> Love was in that
>> same row.
>>
>> Further down was
>> Understanding,
>>
>> you need that
>> everywhere you go.
>>
>> I got a box or
>> two of Wisdom
>>
>> and Faith a bag
>> or two.
>>
>> And Charity of
>> course
>>
>> I would need some
>> of that too.
>>
>> I couldn't miss
>> the Holy Ghost
>>
>> It was all over
>> the place.
>>
>> And then some
>> Strength
>>
>> and Courage to
>> help me run this race.
>>
>> My basket was
>> getting full
>>
>> but I remembered
>> I needed Grace,
>>
>> And then I chose
>> Salvation for
>>
>> Salvation was for
>> free
>>
>> I tried to get
>> enough of that to do
>>
>> for you and me.
>>
>> Then I started to
>> the counter
>>
>> to pay my grocery
>> bill,
>>
>> For I thought I
>> had everything
>>
>> to do the Masters
>> will.
>>
>> As I went up the
>> aisle
>>
>> I saw Prayer and
>> put that in,
>>
>> For I knew when I
>> stepped outside
>>
>> I would run into
>> sin.
>>
>> Peace and Joy
>> were plentiful,
>>
>> the last things
>> 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 asked
>> "Really now,
>>
>> How much do I
>> owe?"
>>
>> "My child" he
>> said, "God paid your bill
>>
> a long long time
>> ago
