The Little Tots perform a children's song based on the biblical story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19. The song tells how Zacchaeus, a short tax collector, climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus. Jesus called him down and invited himself to Zacchaeus's house, leading to Zacchaeus's joyful transformation. The lyrics emphasize Jesus's personal attention and the happiness that comes from encountering Him. This simple, repetitive tune is often used in Sunday school settings to teach children about God's love and acceptance.
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
And a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree
For the Lord he wanted to see
And when the Savior passed that way
He looked up in the tree
And said, 'Zacchaeus, you come down!
For I'm going to your house today!
For I'm going to your house today!'
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
But a happy man was he
For he had seen the Lord that day
And a happy man was he;
And a very happy man was he
