Zacchaeus Zacchaeus

Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Put your money down
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Jesus has come to town
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
You hope that I’ll see you
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Your old life will be through

And though you’re a wee little man
Who likes to grasp things in your hand
When Jesus goes with you to sup
You give all your life up

Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Climb up in that tree
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
The Lord you’re going to see
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
You know you’ll bring forth fruit
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
With Jesus as your root

And though you’re a wee little man
Who likes to grasp things in your hand
When Jesus goes with you to sup
You give all your life up

Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Your home is where I’ll dine
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
I’ve come to make you mine
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Come down out of that tree
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
See me eternally

And though you’re a wee little man
Who likes to grasp things in your hand
When Jesus goes with you to sup
You give all your life up

Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
You climbed up in a tree
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
You climbed up to see me
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
I’ll hang from a tree, too
Zacchaeus Zacchaeus
Just so I can save you

And though you’re a wee little man
Who likes to grasp things in your hand
When Jesus goes with you to sup
You give all your life up
You give all your life up
