There was a man named Zacchaeus
A rich man came to see the show
Tried to get a look at Jesus
Too short to see over the crush
He climbed a tree beside the street
Jesus was coming, better rush
He looked up, Zacchaeus to greet
Jesus called Zacchaeus by name
Quick, come down! I must be your guest
Quickly a welcome was proclaimed
He took Jesus home with joy expressed
But displeased, the people grumbled
He’ll be the guest of a sinner
But, Zacchaeus stood and crumbled
The poor, I will now consider
If I’ve cheated on taxation
I’ll give them back four times as much
To this home has come salvation
A son of Abraham does such
For the Son of Man paid the cost
To seek and save those who are lost
Luke 19:1-10
