Testo Things We Leave Behind - Michael Card
Testo della canzone Things We Leave Behind (Michael Card), tratta dall'album Scribbling in the Sand
There sits Simon, so foolishly wise
Proudly, he's tending his nets
And Jesus calls and the boats drift away
And all that he owns he forgets
But 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
But 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 possessions that hold it 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 possession
And giving becomes our delight
And 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 possess
And Jesus says, "Lay all our 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 it's hard to imagine the freedom we find
From the things we leave behind
And when we say no to the things of the world (when we say no)
We open our hearts to the love of the Lord (love of the Lord)
And it's 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 we leave behind
