growth in itself has the ability to effect change
to move to the next level to have our priorities rearranged
President-elect Obama based his entire campaign
on the premise that America was ready for a change

change is usually not welcomed as it moves you out of your comfort zone
as change usually calls for us to acquiesce, repent and/ or atone
yet a lot of our money is spent on medical and health care
to treat those behavioral conditions of which we are fully aware
we smoke too much, we eat too much and we exercise too little
thus the cause of most of our illnesses is certainly not a riddle
we need for our lifestyles to be rearranged
so I ask you America can we spare some change?

we hate change, we love change but mostly we want things to get better
yet we're reluctant to follow the doctor's instructions to the letter
most every aspect of our lives would be greatly improved
if we just get up off our butts and make a positive move
we've been stuck in our ruts for several generations
suffering from a self indulgence that has us on medication
yet all we have to do is just change our way of thinking
and get up off the sick bed that is surely sinking

to be like Zacchaeus who despite his personal wealth
had a desire to spare some change on his spiritual health
for money alone doesn't guarantee joy nor happiness
if you're living a life short of God's grace and righteousness
to be dead in the Spirit, to be unmoved by life
you need to spare some change and seek out Jesus the Christ

we all have a desire that's deep in our hearts
to feel the presence in our souls of the Lord Our God
to climb up a sycamore just to be able to see
Jesus the Messiah who gave His life for you and me
the crowd of onlookers thought this was strange
but Zacchaeus had a desire to spare some change

don't let the critics in life stand in your way
of you seeking to make a change one day
let persistence and perseverance be the vehicle
that will turn your problem into a miracle
take your weaknesses and shortcomings and let them be estranged
and do what is needed in order to spare some change

Jesus looked up and called Zacchaeus with no hesitation
and said "let's go to your home" for at hand is your salvation
to be moved by the Spirit with a desire to change your behavior
to be healthy and now happy in the presence of the Savior
to want every aspect of your life to be rearranged
to be like Zacchaeus who was willing to spare some change
