Jericho lyrics
Parody of "Vertigo" by U2
(Luke 19:1-9)
Achat, shtayim
Achat, shtayim, shalosh, arba
Christ�s in town, the Lord
The trouble is my head, can�t see, I�m short
And Jericho is thronged and jammed
I thought I�d climb so high and then I saw
The Man they sought for signs and wonders
Shalom, shalom
I�m at a place called Jericho
My name�s Zacchaeus if you didn�t know
And the view�s really something from this tree, tree
My life is cruel and cold
I�ve always been a guy who clings to gold
I think of all the times I�ve robbed and stole
I need a second chance � can He save souls?
I�m a man who cheats on taxes he collects
So I guess I�ve failed -- then Jesus cranes His neck
Sayin� to me, �You there!� Maybe He can use me
Shalom, shalom
I�m at a place called Jericho
He said, Zacchaeus, let�s get dinner, bro
But first you need to come down from the tree, tree
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Here we go! Jump in!
All my debts I will now restore
Half of this, I give to the poor
All the rest I give to the Lord
Forgiveness is what I want � I know what�s it�s worth
Shalom, shalom
I�m at a place called Jericho
Christ�s in town, and all I know is the Dude�s really something
I can feel His love reaching me now
Read Luke 19 you�ll see how
Cause He's real! Real!
Luke 19:1-3
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd.
