Introduction:

G                         Em                    C                    D  
There sits Simon so foolishly wise
G                                 C                            D  
Proudly he's tending his nets
G                            Em                            C                              D  
Then Jesus calls and the boats drift away
G                                         C                      D  
And all that he owns he forgets
             C                              Am                 Em  
But more than the nets he abandoned that day
          C                                    Am                                 Em  
He found that his pride was soon drifting away
                          C                    Am                      Em                         G  
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
                             C                    Am              G  
>From the things we leave behind
G                              Em                      C                         D  
Matthew was mindful of taking the tax
          G                              C                      D  
And pressing the people to pay
          G                            Em                         C                      D  
But hearing the call he responded in faith
G                                            C                              D  
And followed the Light and the Way
          C                              Am                    Em  
And leaving the people so puzzled he found
          C                              Am                              Em  
The greed in his heart was no longer around
                        C                      Am                         Em                      G  
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
                          C                    Am            G  
From the things we leave behind
Em                                                 Am  
Every heart needs to be set free
             Em                                                                    Am  
From possessions that hold it so tight
                     D                                                                    C                                 Am  
'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own
                          Em                                              D  
It's the power to do what is right
Em                                                         Am  
With Jesus, our only possession
Em                                                              Am  
Then giving becomes our delight
          D                                                      C                         Am  
And we can't imagine the freedom we find
                          C                    Am            G  
From the things we leave behind
(Capo 4th fret)
G                         Em                            C                              D  
We show a love for the world in our lives
          G                            C                            D  
By worshipping goods we possess
                G                         Em                                 C                      D  
When Jesus says, Lay all your treasures aside
             G                    C                                 D  
And love God above all the rest
                     C                         Am                      Em  
'Cause when we say no to the things of the world
          C                    Am                              Em  
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord
                          C                 Am                         Em                      G  
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
                        C                      Am              G  
From the things we leave behind
             C                         Am                      Em  
And when we say no to the things of the world
          C                    Am                              Em  
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord
                          C                    Am                      Em                      G  
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
                        C                      Am              G  
From the things we leave behind
                          C                    Am                      Em                      G  
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
                        C                      Am              G  
From the things we leave behind
