Things We Leave Behind

(Capo 3rd Fret)

G          Em        C        D
There sits Simon so foolishly wise
G             C           D
Proudly he's tending his nets
G           Em           C      
Then Jesus calls and the boats 
      D
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          
He found that his pride was soon 
   Em
drifting away
          C        Am         Em 
And it's hard to imagine the 
         G
freedom we find
           C        Am      G
>From the things we leave behind

G            Em         C        
Matthew was mindful of taking the 
  D
tax
    G            C         D
And pressing the people to pay
    G           Em          C    
But hearing the call he responded
     D
 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
And it's hard to imagine the 
         G
freedom we find
          C        Am     G
From the things we leave behind

Bridge:
Em                   Am
Every heart needs to be set free
     Em                          
From possessions that hold it so 
Am
tight
        D                        
'Cause freedom's not found in the 
  C             Am
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       
And we can't imagine the freedom 
   Am
we find
          C        Am     G
From the things we leave behind


(Capo 4th fret)

G          Em           C       
We show a love for the world in 
     D
our lives
    G           C           D
By worshipping goods we possess
      G          Em         
When Jesus says, Lay all your 
    C         D
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 
And it's hard to imagine the 
        G
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 
And it's hard to imagine the 
        G
freedom we find
         C         Am      G
From the things we leave behind

          C        Am         Em 
And it's hard to imagine the 
        G
freedom we find
         C         Am      G
