lyrics

"He entered Jericho, and behold, there was a man named Zac-
- Zatch-- Zatchay-- Zack. He was a chief tax collector
and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but
on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small
in stature.

AND SO HE CLIMBED
A SYCAMORE TREE
IN ORDER TO SEE
AS JESUS WAS PASSING THERE...
A SYCAMORE TREE
IN ORDER TO SEE
AS JESUS WAS PASSING THERE..."

HEY, LITTLE MAN, LITTLE MAN...
WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD FIND
ON THAT ROAD
OR IN YOUR MIND
IN THE SYCAMORE TREE?

"And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to
him, 'Zack, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your
house today.' So he hurried and came down and received him
joyfully. And when they saw it, they all grumbled, 'He has
gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.'

HEY, LITTLE MAN, LITTLE MAN...
WHAT DID YOU FEEL DEEP INSIDE?
DID YOU FEEL SHAME
TO HAVE TO HIDE
IN THE SYCAMORE TREE?

"And Zack stood and said to the Lord, 'Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have
defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.' And
Jesus said to him,

SALVATION HAS COME TO THIS HOUSE
SALVATION HAS COME TO THIS HOUSE
FOR HE TOO IS
A CHILD OF ABRAHAM...
FOR I HAVE COME
TO SEEK AND SAVE
THAT WHICH WAS LOST..."

HEY, LITTLE MAN, LITTLE MAN,
WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD FIND?
OR DID YOU KNOW
THAT YOU WOULD
BE FOUND...

BUT THE THING THAT I TOOK--
I CAN'T GIVE IT BACK...
SO AM I TOO
A CHILD OF ABRAHAM?
WHO'S ABRAHAM?

I CAN'T GIVE IT BACK,
BUT LIKE ZACK, I CAN... CONFESS.

SO I WILL CLIMB
THE SYCAMORE TREE
IN ORDER TO SEE,
AS JESUS WAS PASSING THERE...

THE SYCAMORE TREE
IN ORDER TO SEE,
AS JESUS WAS PASSING THERE...
