Heaven's The Place To Go

As I was walking down the streets of Indiana many years ago
I came upon a sign that read - "Heaven's The Place To Go."
When I got a little closer the doors swung open wide
And when I came to myself I was standing just 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 "Heaven's Place To Go".
And what you could not carry you could come back 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 and Faith a bag or two.
And Charity of course I would need some of that too.

I couldn't miss the Holy Spirit, it was all over the place.
And then some Strength and Courage to help me run the race.
And then I chose Salvation because the sign said it was free.
I tried to get enough of that just for you and me.

Then I started to the counter to pay life's greatest bill,
For I thought I had everything to do the Savior's will.
As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside I would enter into life's 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 "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, the Savior paid your bill a long time ago."
