ZaccheusA Poem by Brother Jacob
I once was a tax collector, who was very greedy.
I cheated the poor, and the needy.
Outside I was a small man, but inside I was even smaller.
I was in love with money, oh the foul dollar.
One day Jesus came to Jericho.
Who was He? I did not know.
As Jesus arrived, Him I couldn't see.
So, I climbed a sycamore tree.
For I was a tax collector, and a sinner.
But the Savior came, to my house for dinner.
I corrected my wrong doings, and gave half of my very own possessions to the poor.
And I gave my heart to Jesus, I was a sinner no more.
I am Zaccheus; I'm sure you heard of me.
I'm that wee little man, I am he.
The one who’s climbed a sycamore tree
(Luke 19:1-10)
