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 went to heaven... 
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate... 
Nine for the nine who saw the sign
Ten for the ten commandments...
