There sits Simon, foolish and wise, proudly he's tending his nets.
Jesus calls and the boats drift away, and all that he owns he forgets.
More than the nets he abandoned that day; he found that his pride was soon drifting away;
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things we leave behind!
Matthew was mindful of taking the tax and pressing the people to pay.
And hearing the call, he responded in faith and followed the Light and the Way.
And 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 on so tight
'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own; it's the power to do what is right.
With Jesus, our only posession, and 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.
But Jesus said "lay all your treasures aside and 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 it's hard to imagine the freedom we find from the things that we leave behind!
