about

The opening track. It's about Zaccheus, what more do I need to say? Trust me, you'll love it.

lyrics

I was born and grew, the shortest of my family,
Measured head to shoe, I couldn't have been more than five foot three,
My job was collecting taxes from my people,
Every day I'd lie and cheat, and ask for double,
My hope was in my wealth,
I heard about this man named Jesus, He came from Galilee,
They said He offered forgiveness, and made the blind to see,
What's more, they said He had dinner, not just with Pharisees,
But with tax collectors and sinners, people considered unclean,
Would He dine with me?
What would He say, to a sinner like me, (2X)
Would He forgive, and set me free?
I guess I'll have to see...

I wonder what it would be like, to see Him face to face,
And if He offered me forgiveness, well that would be amazing grace,
I've done more wrong, than I could ever repay,
And my sin is so heavy, my good deeds could never outweigh,
What would Jesus say?
What would He say, to a sinner like me? (4X)
Would He forgive, and set me free?
Or would He pass by, and leave me be?
I've gotta find out, climb that sycamore tree,
For my Lord, I need to see,
I guess I'll have to see...

I want to see Jesus, I want to see Him now,
I want to see Jesus, when He comes through our town,
I want to see Jesus, just to catch a glimpse of Him,
I want to see Jesus, could He forgive my sins?
