Analysis of 444



May the fours be with you, yes as they four ever go
Whether you play to win this time or only play to show
There are four living creatures around the throne and one was made for you
There are also twenty-four elders there so you can have a six-pack too
Jesus bought a case of these to share with all His friends
But don’t take any of the last three sixes He’ll be killing them
Four seasons, four gospels, four corners and four winds
Though I start with these fours and yet I only begin
The first four commandments are all about the Lord
The fourth starts with Remember ends with Therefore
I wonder if therefore really adds up to seven
Or if I’m slightly dyslexic, I guess I’ll find out in heaven
The four angels bound by the fourth river today
Will very soon no longer be kept there that way
If you think 444 means nothing to you
You’d best think again, I’m only saying what’s true
But don’t despair loved one this isn’t the end
If Jesus, the Christ has called you His friend
