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!”<\/td>		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<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
