There sits Simon,
so foolishly wise
proudly hes 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
Its 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
its hard to imagine
the freedom we find
from the things
we leave behind
Every heart needs to be set free,
from possessions
that hold it so tight
Cause freedoms not found in the things that we own,
Its the power
to do what is right
Jesus, our only possession,
giving becomes our delight
We cant imagine the freedom we find
from the things we leave behind
We show a love for the world in our lives
by worshiping goods we possess
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 its hard to imagine
the freedom we find
from the things
we leave behind
