To See Jesus

To See Jesus

The crowd was large
And Zacchaeus was small
His little legs ran to find
A towering tree so tall.


Up would be the only way
To see Jesus on that day
Zacchaeus, climbed upon a tree
And there his eyes did finally see.


Jesus was already aware
of the quiet , joyful stare
and looked up toward Zacchaeus
eye to eye - a perfect prayer.


A welcomed guest would Jesus be
in the house He came to save
a sinner who needed to be free
And lifted from the hand of the grave.



Luke 19: 9 And Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham


Based on Luke 19:1-10
