Things We Leave Behind · letra

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
