Zacchaeus

Zacchaeus

What's the funny little man
Doing in the tree?
I guess he knows that Jesus
Frowns on such as he.

But then I guess it's like him
To try to get a look,
But I still say he's got a nerve
When he's been such a crook.

He's hiding in the branches.
He's torn his fancy cloak.
If Jesus looks up, He'll see him.
And won't that be a joke!.

Look! This is rich! He sees him!
Let's hear what He has to say.
"Come down, Zacchaeus, come down.
I'll dine with you today."

He's eating with that sinner?
Oh this, I can't believe.
It can't be that He doesn't know,
For Him you can't decieve.

Some say He's the Messiah
And who knows? He just might be.
And yet He cares for sinners!
He just might care for me!
