A small man was Zaccheus,
So small he couldn’t see,
Over all the throngs that came
To sit round Jesus’ knee.
Chorus
Climb down that tree, Zaccheus!
Climb down from that high view.
Lord Jesus Christ is coming;
The King of Kings loves you.
The Lord looked up and saw him,
The taxman in the tree,
And Jesus called to Zaccheus,
“Come down and eat with me.”
Chorus
Though others shunned Zaccheus
For all his cheating part.
Lord Jesus saw his suff’ring
And knew He’d change his heart.
Chorus
There’s no heart that can not change
Once Jesus is let in,
For Jesus knows our burdens
And cleans away our sin.
Chorus
Up A Tree
Jesus was on His final march to Jerusalem when He encountered Zaccheus – up a tree. While Zaccheus needed to come down out of that tree to meet the Savior, Jesus would soon be nailed to a tree to purchase the salvation He so freely-offered. Two trees, two very different symbols.
Jesus was almost always surrounded by a crowd, His disciples, His other followers, and of course, His detractors. As we often see when Jesus encounters a “sinner“, His detractors are quick to point out His “lapses of judgment“. If Jesus is so “holy“, why does He associate with “sinners“?

Jesus said, “Today is salvation day in this home! Here he is: Zacchaeus, son of Abraham! For the Son of Man came to find and restore the lost.”
~ Luke 19:9-10
That little tiny man
just wanted to be
nearer to You than
so he could see.
Wealth did not buy
a front row seat
a sycamore tree
his chance retreat
Never expecting
more than that
he climbed that tree

Out Of This World!
“Out of this world!” – Sometimes, we use this phrase to describe something we like a lot. We exaggerate. We make something out to be better than it really is.
When we speak about Jesus, our Saviour, we really mean it – He’s out of this world: “Who came down from heaven to earth? Jesus Christ our Saviour.” When we speak about God’s great salvation, we really mean it – It’s out of this world: ““What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” —the things God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Holy Saviour, Holy Scriptures, Holy Spirit
2 Timothy 3:10-17 God comes to us in our Holy Saviour, through the Holy Scriptures and by the Holy Spirit. When God comes to us, in love, we are changed by His love. His love creates in us love for…
