TEN LITTLE CHRISTIANS

10 little Christians came to church all the time; One fell out with the preacher, then there were 9.

9 little Christians stayed up late; One overslept on Sunday, then there were 8.

8 little Christians on their way to heaven; One took the low road and then there were 7.

7 little Christians, chirping like chicks; One didn’t like the music and then there were 6.

6 little Christians seemed very much alive; One got travel-itis, and then there were 5.

5 little Christians pulling for heaven’s shore; One stopped to rest awhile and then there were 4.

4 little Christians, each busy as a bee; One got his feelings hurt and then there were three.

3 little Christians, couldn’t decide what to do; One didn’t get his way, and then there were 2.

2 little Christians, the story almost done; For one of them grew weary and then there was 1.

1 little Christian can’t do much, ‘tis true; But I brought as friend last Sunday and then there were 2.

2 little Christians, each won one more; Now add them up, don’t you see? 2 plus 2 makes 4.

4 little Christians worked early and late; Each brought 1 and now there were 8.

8 little Christians, if they double as before; In just 7 seven Sundays, we’d have one thousand, twenty-four.

In this little jingle there is a lesson true; You belong to either the building or the wrecking crew!
