I remember this one! This too, is a story/song that has particularly stuck with me from Sunday School/Bible School (the dreaded VBS...there were always shrieks of "nooooooo" every June at our house). Something about "Zacheus was a wee little man..." and I remember the pointing and stomping. "Passion Play" is one of Joni's great later songs, IMHO, and I think she conveys the story much more eloquently this time around.
