Children Go Where I Send Thee - Joan Osborne

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I’m gonna send thee one by one

One for the little bitty, baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I’m gonna send thee two by two

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little bitty, baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Three

For the Hebrew children

Four

For the four that stood

At the door

Five

For the gospel preachers

Six for the six

That never got fixed

Seven for the seven

That never got to heaven

Eight for the eight

That stood at the gate

Nine for the nine

All dressed so fine

Ten

For the ten commandments

Eleven

For the eleven deriders

Twelve

For the twelve Apostles
