Come on down – Zacchaeus
- Mark Bainbridge
- Come On Down Zaccheus
One day a man who was small in build
Wanted to catch sight of Jesus
But the crowd was so large around him
He had to climb a tree to see
He was a man not liked by most
For he was a tax collector
But when Jesus passed by that tree,
He surprised all by saying
CH.
Come on down (Come on down)
Zacchaeus (Zacchaeus)
I’m going to eat at your place tonight
Come on down (Come on down)
Zacchaeus (Zacchaeus)
I’m going to stay at your place tonight
Bridge
Everyone was shocked! How could this be?
How could a Holy Man,… Stay with one like he?!!?
(repeat)
Vs 2
Jesus did not worry, or even try to explain
But Zacchaeus was overjoyed
He would never be the same
For Jesus (JC) had come for all (had come for all)
The good and bad alike (the good and bad alike)
Just think how you’d be happy,… if he said,…
“Hey, I’m going to stay at your place tonight!” CH.

Some Participation Suggestions
Singing
Another story song, with the Children’s voices coming in at the chorus echo lines and the song telling the story.
Activities
- This is certainly one to dramatise or mime.
- I’ve even used it as a concert piece with a dance routine.
- It lends itself to experimentation!
