There sits Simon so foolishly wise
G C D
Proudly he's tending his nets
G Em C D
Then Jesus calls and the boats drift away
G C D
And all that he owns he forgets
C Am Em
But more than the nets he abandoned that day
C Am Em
He found that his pride was soon drifting away
C Am Em G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
>From the things we leave behind
G Em C D
Matthew was mindful of taking the tax
G C D
And pressing the people to pay
G Em C D
But hearing the call he responded in faith
G C D
And followed the Light and the Way
C Am Em
And leaving the people so puzzled he found
C Am Em
The greed in his heart was no longer around
C Am Em G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
From the things we leave behind
Bridge:
Em Am
Every heart needs to be set free
Em Am
From possessions that hold it so tight
D C Am
'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own
Em D
It's the power to do what is right
Em Am
With Jesus, our only possession
Em Am
Then giving becomes our delight
D C Am
And we can't imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
From the things we leave behind
(Capo 4th fret)
G Em C D
We show a love for the world in our lives
G C D
By worshipping goods we possess
G Em C D
When Jesus says, Lay all your treasures aside
G C D
And love God above all the rest
C Am Em
'Cause when we say no to the things of the world
C Am Em
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord
C Am Em G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
From the things we leave behind
C Am Em
And when we say no to the things of the world
C Am Em
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord
C Am Em G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
From the things we leave behind
C Am Em G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
C Am G
From the things we leave behind
