Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus: Climbing Beyond Shortcomings to Find True Wealth
Lyrics
Have you ever seen a man so short that he cannot even see in the crowd
Describing a man too short to see in a crowd
He can try to move from here and there but he cannot even see other side
Despite trying, he can't see beyond the crowd
Zacchaeus, a man that was short he couldn't see Jesus in the crowd
Zacchaeus, a short man unable to see Jesus in the crowd
And he was walking, looking, searching but he couldn't see Him in the crowd
He searches for Jesus but can't find Him in the crowd
And he was walking, looking, searching but he couldn't see Him in the crowd
Reiteration of Zacchaeus searching for Jesus in the crowd
Oh what do we seek for? What do we search in this world
Questioning the purpose of our search in the world
Maybe treasures and the pleasures of this world
Possible pursuits: worldly treasures or pleasures
Or the goodness found in this world that will not last for long
Temporal goodness that won't last long in this world
If you have Jesus you need no more, need no more
Having Jesus is sufficient; no need for more
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind to seek the Lord
Zacchaeus decides to seek the Lord
Though he tried to move from here and there still he couldn't see Jesus in the crowd
Despite efforts, he still can't see Jesus in the crowd
Yet he never gave up and found a way that he could see Him in the crowd
Perseverance leads Zacchaeus to find a way
Then beside the road he saw a long sycamore tree and he thought of climbing to the top
Notices a sycamore tree, considers climbing to see Jesus
And he was struggling, climbing, hoping to see until the Lord saw him and called him down
Zacchaeus struggles and hopes to see Jesus
And he was struggling, climbing, hoping to see until the Lord saw him and called him down
Reiteration of Zacchaeus' struggle to see Jesus
Oh what do we seek for? What do we search in this world
Repeats the question about the purpose of our search
Maybe treasures and the pleasures of this world
Mentions possible pursuits: treasures or pleasures
Or the goodness found in this world that will not last for long
Temporary goodness in this world won't last
If you have Jesus you need no more, need no more
Having Jesus is sufficient; no need for more
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind to seek the Lord
Zacchaeus reaffirms his decision to seek the Lord
Oh what do we seek for? What do we search in this world
Reiteration of the question about the purpose of our search
Maybe treasures and the pleasures of this world
Repeats possible pursuits: treasures or pleasures
Or the goodness found in this world that will not last for long
Temporal goodness in this world is fleeting
If you have Jesus you need no more, need no more
Having Jesus is sufficient; no need for more
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind to seek the Lord
Zacchaeus reiterates his decision to seek the Lord
Oh what do we seek for? What do we search in this world
Repeats the question about the purpose of our search
Maybe treasures and the pleasures of this world
Mentions possible pursuits: treasures or pleasures
Or the goodness found in this world that will not last for long
Temporary goodness in this world has a short duration
If you have Jesus you need no more, need no more
Having Jesus is sufficient; no need for more
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind
Zacchaeus has made up his mind to seek the Lord
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind
Reiteration of Zacchaeus' firm decision to seek the Lord
That is why Zacchaeus made his mind
-To seek the Lord
-To seek the Lord
Emphasizes the resolution to seek the Lord
To seek the Lord, To seek the Lord
