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."
