Things We Leave Behind

() There sits Simon so foolishly wise Proudly he's tending his nets Then Jesus calls and the boats drift away And all that he owns he forgets But more than the nets he abandoned that day He found that his pride was soon drifting away And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find >From the things we leave behind Matthew was mindful of taking the tax And pressing the people to pay But hearing the call he responded in faith And followed the Light and the Way And 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 Bridge: Every heart needs to be set free From possessions 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 With Jesus, our only possession Then giving becomes our delight And 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 possess When Jesus says, Lay all your treasures aside And 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 it's hard to imagine the freedom we find From the things we leave behind And when we say no to the things of the world We open our hearts to the love of the Lord And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find From the things we leave behind And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find From the things we leave behind
