83 . Something More than Gold
F C7 F
A certain man of whom we read
Bb F
Who lived in days of old
Bb F C7 F
Though he was rich, he felt his need
C G7 C
Of something more than gold.
Chorus:
F C7 F
Oh yes, my friend, there's something more
Bb F
Something more than gold:
Bb F C7 F
To know your sins are all forgiven
F C7 F
Is something more than gold.
It happened on a certain day,
This little man was told,
That Jesus soon would pass that way
With something more than gold.
Zacchaeus was not tall, and he
In order to behold
Made haste into a sycamore tree
For something more than gold.
But Jesus stood beneath the tree
And said, "On Me behold."
Zacchaeus, come down, I've brought thee
This something more than gold.
So he obeyed and soon he found
The half had not been told.
Where love and joy and peace about
'Tis better far than gold.
