[Intro

[Verse 1

The streets were crowded, the whispers grew,

A man of miracles was passing through.

But I was small, lost in the throng,

Searching for a place where I could belong.

[Pre-Chorus

The weight of my choices held me down,

A life of wealth but a heart that drowned.

[Chorus

So I climbed a tree to see His face,

To find some hope in this holy place.

Above the noise, above the shame,

I heard Him call, and it changed my name.

[Verse 2

He stopped beneath that sycamore tree,

And looked straight up, right into me.

“Come down now, for I must stay,

At your table, in your home today.”

[Pre-Chorus

His voice was kind, His gaze was true,

He saw my heart like no one knew.

[Chorus

So I climbed a tree to see His face,

To find some hope in this holy place.

Above the noise, above the shame,

I heard Him call, and it changed my name.

[Bridge

I gave away what I had once claimed,

Restored to others what I’d wrongly gained.

In His presence, my heart was free,

A love so pure, it rescued me.

[Final Chorus

Now the story is told of a man so small,

Who found redemption when he gave it all.

I was that man, the least, the last,

My name is Zacchaeus, freed from my past.
