Subject: RE: Religious Songs That Speak To You
Here's one that I love (From the PPM website)

Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee?
Well, I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty baby
            
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
                  
Said he was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee?
Hey, I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the itty bitty baby

Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee?
(*repeat, singing verses in descending order*)
I'm gonna send the: three by three, three for the Hebrew children
four by four, four for the four that stood at the door
five by five, five for the five that stayed alive
six by six, six for the six that never got fixed
seven by seven, seven for the seven who never got to heav'n
eight by eight, eight for the eight that stood at the gate
nine by nine, nine for the nine that dressed so fine
ten by ten, ten for the ten commandments

He was born, born, born
born in Bethlehem.
