Things We Leave Behind |
| There sits Simon |
| So foolishly wise |
| Proudly he’s tending his nets |
| Then Jesus calls |
| And the boats drift away |
| All that he owns he forgets |
| More than the nets |
| He abandoned that day |
| He found that his pride was soon drifting away |
| It’s hard to imagine the freedom we find |
| From the things we leave behind |
| Matthew was mindful |
| Of taking the tax |
| Pressing the people to pay |
| Hearing the call |
| He responded in faith |
| Followed the Light and the Way |
| Leaving the people |
| So puzzled he found |
| The greed in his heart |
| Was no longer around and |
| It’s hard to imagine |
| The freedom we find |
| From the things |
| We leave behind |
| Every heart needs to be set free |
| From posessions |
| That hold it so tight |
| 'Cause freedom’s not found in the things that we own |
| It’s the power |
| To do what is right |
| Jesus, our only posession |
| Giving becomes our delight |
| We can’t imagine the freedom we find |
| From the things we leave behind |
| We show a love for the world in our lives |
| By worshipping goods we posess |
| Jesus has laid all our treasures aside |
| «love God above all the rest» |
| 'Cause when we say 'no' |
| To the things of the world |
| We open our hearts |
| To the love of the Lord and |
| Its hard to imagine |
| The freedom we find |
| From the things we leave behind |
| Oh, and it’s hard to imagine |
| The freedom we find |
| From the things |
| We leave behind |
