l was walki.ng down life's highwa:sls a long time ago One day, 1sa\v a sig;n that read Hl-Jeaven's Gro(~cry Stm~eH
Asl got a little doser>the door came open wide~ And when I came to myself~ 1 was standing inside. l saw a .hQst of angels-- that were standing everywhere,
One handed me a basket and. said~ 11tty child} shop with caret' Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store, And ali you could not carry~ you could con1e back the nex.t: day f(Jr more. First~ 1saw some .J>atienceand }.;ove \Vas in the same ro\.v Further down was lJudersta.ndi.ng, you need that where'er ynu

I got a box. or two of\VisdQm1a bag or two of Faith, 1just couldn't miss the HolvGhost for it was aU over the place. I stopped tn get some Strenght and Su.lvation--~ that was free. So..... I tried to get enough ofthat.,-t.o save bot1l you and me~ Then, [ st~uted up tn the counter to pay my grocery bi.l.l., For i thought I had everything to do my r.naster~s willl
As r. went up the aisiel I saw lrayer, and 1just had to put that in, For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin,
;Peace and Jov were plentifill; Tiwy were on the last shelf. Trw.n I said to the angel~ "Now How ~tuch Do I Owe?r'
l-Ie just smiled and said, HJust Take Them Wher.eHer You GO.." Again} I smiled at
hin:1 and said, How l\Jud1 no I Really Owe?t' He smiled agin and said. ''i\,ly Child~ :Jesus Paid Your Bin A. Long Time Ago!H
