Ten Little Christians

by: Author Unknown,

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

seemed 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 either to the building,

or to the wrecking crew.
