Hey Zaccheus (Parody of "Take It Easy, by The Eagles") Follow along to these song lyrics AND, at the end, read the real story from Luke in the Bible! - [Verse 1] Well, He was comin' down the road Windin' through Jericho They had everyone in town in line Folks along the road Made movement kinda slow We wanted them to step aside [Chorus 1] Make way for Jesus, make way for Jesus Down in the crowd of all those people was Zaccheus Life was tough for this short man He was despised because of sin There was no place where he could stand To look at Jesus [Verse 2] Well, now Zaccheus was uh short So he climbed a sycamore tree Just the right height to see He could see the Lord But he felt for sure "Jesus wouldn't wanna look at me!" [Chorus 2] Could He save me? Am I crazy? I've got a past that most people regard as shady Would He choose to forgive my sins? Or am I goin' out on a limb?" Just then the Lord looked up at him Said, "Hey, Zaccheus!" [Instrumental Break - feat. Electric Guitar] [Verse 3] So there was silence in the road As He looked up and spoke And the world was hangin' on the line Jesus hollered up there "Let's both go to supper At your house tonight." [Chorus 3] They said, "Jesus, don't be facetious Don't hang around immoral people like Zaccheus!" He said, "Baby, don't detain me! I've gotta go, 'cause this sheep's lost I'm gonna save him!" [Outro] Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo Hooo All we gotta see is We only saved by Jesus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzDpRYtbuZ8 - NOW: READ THE BIBLE STORY THIS SONG IS BASED ON: Luke 19 (New Living Translation) - Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
