Clean Up In Aisle Seven Again

That morning he headed off to the store as they were having a big sale In life he was looking for more as lately things had become a little stale It was Faith this department store was selling with every size and style In walking through that door it was this need he thought of all the while Each and every lonely night and all those heart aches and growing pains How this life would so often slight even your own mind sometimes feigns All of that continuing questioning of why, never once getting a real answer In now giving this a try in beginning to see that there was only One cure They had some popular door busters as the large crowds clamored around From afar you could see their shiny lusters but close up none could be found He quickly just skirted right past for he was looking for what was in that flyer Something that would keep him through eternity this being his greatest desire Off in the distance towards the back there was the Faith he saw in the ad He now knew he was on the right track and not just hooked up in some fad The warmth that was coming from the display warmed him inside and out And in the continuing of making his way he was shedding all that old doubt In the Cross he knew that it was real as soon his heart had began to break He couldn't believe how it made him feel that Jesus had died for his sake And as all those tears began to come a store clerk asked if he was alright As this would seem strange to some, but not to those who've seen the Light
