Michael Card – Things We Leave Behind (Guitar)

G          Em        C        D
There sits Simon so foolishly wise

G             C           D
Proudly he's tending his nets

G           Em            C           D
Then Jesus calls and the boats 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              Em
He found that his pride was soon drifting away

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

           C        Am      G
From the things we leave behind

G            Em         C          D
Matthew was mindful of taking the tax

     G            C         D
And pressing the people to pay

     G           Em         C         D
But hearing the call he responded 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        G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find

           C        Am      G
From the things we leave behind

Em                   Am
Every heart needs to be set free

      Em                          Am
From possessions that hold it so tight

        D                           C            Am
'Cause freedom's not found in the 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          Am
And we can't imagine the freedom we find

          C         Am      G
From the things we leave behind

G          Em           C            D
We show a love for the world in our lives

    G           C           D
By worshipping goods we possess

      G          Em            C          D
When Jesus says, Lay all your 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        G
And it's hard to imagine the 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         G
And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find

          C         Am      G
From the things we leave behind

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

          C       Am        G
From the things we leave behind
