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

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

Bridge: 
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
