[G]There sits [Em]Simon so f[C]oolishly [D]wise
[G]Proudly he's t[C]ending his n[D]ets
[G]Then Jesus c[Em]alls and the [C]boats drift a[D]way
[G]And all that he o[C]wns he for[D]gets
But m[C]ore than the [Am]nets he a[Em]bandoned that day
He f[C]ound that his p[Am]ride was soon d[Em]rifting away
And it's h[C]ard to im[Am]agine the f[Em]reedom we fi[G]nd
>From the t[C]hings we [Am]leave be[G]hind
[G]Matthew was m[Em]indful of t[C]aking the t[D]ax
And [G]pressing the [C]people to [D]pay
But [G]hearing the [Em]call he resp[C]onded in f[D]aith
[G]And followed the L[C]ight and the [D]Way
And [C]leaving the p[Am]eople so p[Em]uzzled he found
The [C]greed in his [Am]heart was no l[Em]onger around
And it's [C]hard to im[Am]agine the fr[Em]eedom we fi[G]nd
>From the t[C]hings we [Am]leave b[G]ehind
Bridge:
[Em]Every heart needs to [Am]be set free
>From [Em]possessions that hold it so [Am]tight
'Cause f[D]reedom's not found in the t[C]hings that we [Am]own
It's the p[Em]ower to do what is r[D]ight
[Em]With Jesus, our only pos[Am]session
[Em]Then giving becomes our de[Am]light
And [D]we can't imagine the f[C]reedom we f[Am]ind
>From the t[C]hings we [Am]leave b[G]ehind
(Capo 4th fret)
[G]We show a l[Em]ove for the w[C]orld in our l[D]ives
By w[G]orshipping g[C]oods we poss[D]ess
When J[G]esus says, [Em]Lay all your tr[C]easures as[D]ide
And l[G]ove God a[C]bove all the r[D]est
'Cause w[C]hen we say [Am]no to the t[Em]hings of the world
We o[C]pen our h[Am]earts to the l[Em]ove of the Lord
