(Capo 3rd Fret) 
 
G5          E5        C5        D5 
There sits Simon so foolishly wise 
G5             C5           D5 
Proudly he's tending his nets 
G5           E5           C5            D5 
Then Jesus calls and the boats drift away 
G5                C5         D5 
And all that he owns he forgets 
     C5            A5       E5 
But more than the nets he abandoned that day 
    C5              A5             E5 
He found that his pride was soon drifting away 
          C5        A5         E5          G5 
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find 
           C5        A5      G5 
>From the things we leave behind 
 

G5            E5         C5          D5 
Matthew was mindful of taking the tax 
    G5            C5         D5 
And pressing the people to pay 
    G5           E5          C5         D5 
But hearing the call he responded in faith 
G5                 C5            D5 
And followed the Light and the Way 
    C5            A5        E5 
And leaving the people so puzzled he found 
    C5            A5            E5 
The greed in his heart was no longer around 
         C5         A5          E5         G5 
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find 
          C5        A5     G5 
From the things we leave behind 
 
Bridge: 
E5                   A5 
Every heart needs to be set free 
     E5                          A5 
From possessions that hold it so tight 
        D5                          C5             A5 
'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own 
          E5                  D5 
It's the power to do what is right 
E5                      A5 
With Jesus, our only possession 
E5                        A5 
Then giving becomes our delight 
    D5                     C5          A5 
And we can't imagine the freedom we find 
          C5        A5     G5 
From the things we leave behind

G5          E5           C5            D5 
We show a love for the world in our lives 
    G5           C5           D5 
By worshipping goods we possess 
      G5          E5             C5         D5 
When Jesus says, Lay all your treasures aside 
     G5        C5             D5 
And love God above all the rest 
        C5          A5         E5 
'Cause when we say no to the things of the world 
    C5        A5            E5 
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord 
          C5       A5          E5         G5
