Things We Leave Behind
Album: Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card
Durasi: 4:15
[00:09.03]There sits Simon, so foolishly wise
[00:13.56]Proudly, he's tending his nets
[00:17.80]And Jesus calls and the boats drift away
[00:22.47]And all that he owns he forgets
[00:27.08]But more than the nets he abandoned that day
[00:31.41]He found that his pride was soon drifting away
[00:35.47]And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
[00:40.21]From the things we leave behind
[00:52.05]Matthew was mindful of taking the tax
[00:56.04]And pressing the people to pay
[01:00.55]But hearing the call, he responded in faith
[01:05.17]And followed the Light and the Way
[01:09.78]And leaving the people so puzzled, he found
[01:14.24]The greed in his heart was no longer around
[01:18.17]And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
[01:22.97]From the things we leave behind
[01:28.28]Every heart needs to be set free
[01:31.93]From possessions that hold it so tight
[01:36.53]'Cause freedom's not found in the things that we own
[01:42.18]It's the power to do what is right
[01:46.76]With Jesus, our only possession
[01:51.32]And giving becomes our delight
[01:55.77]And we can't imagine the freedom we find
[02:01.42]From the things we leave behind
[02:05.15]🎵
[02:21.96]We show a love for the world in our lives
[02:26.30]By worshipping goods, we possess
[02:30.68]And Jesus says, "Lay all our treasures aside
[02:35.03]And love God above all the rest"
[02:39.96]'Cause when we say no to the things of the world
[02:44.36]We open our hearts to the love of the Lord
[02:48.41]And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
[02:53.19]From the things we leave behind
[02:57.63]And when we say no to the things of the world (when we say no)
[03:02.22]We open our hearts to the love of the Lord (love of the Lord)
[03:06.87]And it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
[03:11.02]From the things we leave behind
[03:14.73]Oh, and it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
[03:23.54]From the things we leave behind
