Ten Little Christians Came to Church.

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.






23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.


- Colossians 3:23-24 (New International Version)


Dear Lord we pray that we would do our part in Your church. We pray that we would do all we can to help Your church go forward and be the light that brings others to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
