Michael Card - Things We Leave Behind lyrics



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,
Pressing the people to pay
Hearing the call,he responded in faith
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

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
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
Jesus said 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 its hard to imagine the freedom we find
From the things we leave behind
