Now, Zacchaeus was a very little man, and a very little man was he. He climbed up into a sycamore tree, for the Saviour he wanted to see. And when the Saviour passed that way, he looked up in the tree, and said: Now Zacchaeus, you come down, for I’m coming to your house for tea. I am coming to your house for tea. Yes, I am coming. I am coming to your house today for tea. Now Zacchaeus went a very little way and a very little way went he; and when he welcomed Jesus in, some changes we would see. ‘I’ll split my goods in half’, he said; ‘Give one half to the poor; I will pay back what I’ve cheated you and times it all by four!”

Jesus said to him, today salvation has come to your house For the Son of man Has come to seek and save the lost Now, Zacchaeus was a very little man, and a very little man was he. but Jesus who was sent to us came to die on the Roman tree He came to look for those who were lost to find and save them all; and what he did for Zacchaeus he can do for you and me For God so loved the world He gave his Son to come and save us, So believe in him; receive eternal life

You may have sung Zacchaeus to this tune once or twice before, but if not…
