Zacchaeus Was a Wee Little Man
Zac
Dchaeus Awas a Dwee little Aman, and a Dwee little Aman was Dhe.He Dclimbed up Ain a Dsycamore Atree, for the DLord he Awanted to Dsee.
And Das the ASavior Dpassed him Aby, He Dlooked up Ain the Dtree,
And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down from there;
For I’m Dgoing to your Ahouse to-Dday,A… for I’m Dgoing to your Ahouse Dtoday”
Zac
Dchaeus Acame down Dfrom that Atree, as Dhappy as Ahe could Dbe,He Dgave his Amoney Dto the Apoor, and Dsaid: “What a better man I’ll be.”
A
Dsinful Aheart was Dcertainly Achanged when DJesus the ALord passed Dby.He Dwants to Achange your Dsinful heart Atoo, this Dtruth you can-Anot de-Dny.
If Dyou de-Asire to Dsee the ALord the DBible Atells the Dway:
For it says, “Believe Christ died for you.”
He will Dcome into your Aheart to-Dday.A… Yes He’ll Dcome into your Aheart to Dstay.

George says:Well that’s good to hear. I like to play it in G rather than what’s written here (D) or what the Youtube video uses (F). This song is flexible like that because it doesn’t use a very wide range of notes. I’m going to put a transpose button in sooner or later…

O. C. says:I don’t personally care about the chords as I play no instrument but I grew up (in my Christian life) singing this song in Bible clubs, Sunday school, Children’s church, etc to the children I helped teach. It has always been one of my favorite songs for the story. Glad to have the second verse again. I had lost it during our travels across the USA as missionaries.

parletta davis says:I am searching for a book that has all these songs in it for piano and voice and lyrics because our current church pianist can only play by ear.

George says:Hi Parletta,
I’m sorry I don’t know of any books that have these songs written for piano. If your pianist can only play by ear then I would think that a book with notes would be useless, but rather they would need to hear an audio version of the song, and that the chords would be helpful. Some of the pianists at my church play these simple songs by ear as well.

Hirotaire says:How can i download the song ?

George says:In Chrome and Firefox, you just right-click on the MP3 icon and click “Save link as…” from the context menu that popped up. It’s probably very similar in other browsers.
