10 Little Christians

Thanks Merinda!

10 Little Christians standing in line

1 disliked the preacher, then there were 9



9 little Christians stayed up very late

1 overslept Sunday, then there were 8



8 little Christians on their way to Heaven

1 took the low road and then there were 7



7 little Christians chirping like chicks

1 disliked music, then there were 6



6 little Christians seemed very much alive

but one lost his interest then there was 5



5 little Christians pulling for Heaven's Shore

but one stopped to rest, then there were 4



4 little Christians each busy as a bee

1 got his feelings hurt, then there were 3



3 little Christians knew not what to do

1 joined the sporty crowd, then there were 2



2 little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done

differed with each other, then there was 1



1 little Christian can't do much 'tis true

brought his friend to Bible study -- then there were 2



2 earnest Christians, each won one more

that doubled the number, then there were 4



4 sincere Christians worked early and late

Each won another then there were 8



8 splendid Christians if they doubled as before

In just so many Sundays, we'd have 1,024



In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,

You belong either to the

building or to the wrecking crew!
