Michael Card - Things We Leave Behind Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
