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!
I found this cute little rhyme in an old friend's fb note and just couldn't resist not to share it. If I have the time, I would scan one of my old Sunday School pic, those days of our youth and when the discovery of Jesus influenced our every decision. And I would still wonder if it is the same now for everyone.
