"Ten Little Christians"
Ten little Christians came to church all the time;
One fell out with the preacher, then there were nine.
Nine Little Christians, stayed up late;
One overslept on Sunday, then there were eight.
Eight little Christians on their way to Heaven;
One took the low road, then there were seven.
Seven little Christians, chirping like chicks;
One didn't like the singing, then there were six.
Six little Christians seem very much alive;
One took a vacation, then there were five.
Five little Christians pulling for Heaven's shore;
One stopped to take a rest, then there were four.
Four little Christians each as busy as a bee;
One had his feelings hurt, then there were three.
Three little Christians couldn't decide what to do;
One couldn't have his way, then there were two.
Two little Christians each won one more;
Now don't you see, two plus two equals four.
Four little Christians worked early and late;
Each brought one, now there were eight.
Eight little Christians, if they double as before;
In just seven Sundays, we have one thousand twenty four.
In this jingle there is a lesson true;
You belong to the building, or to the wrecking crew.
