_ [Bb] _ _
And Jesus calls, [F] and the boats drift [Bb] away, _
[Gm] and all that [C] he owns he [Eb] _ _ [F] forgets. _
[Eb] But more than the nets he [Bb] _ [F] abandoned that day, [Eb] he found that his pride was [F] soon drifting away.
And [Gm] it's hard to [Bb] imagine [Eb] the freedom [Dm] we find [F] from the things we leave [Bb] behind. _ _ _

[C] _ _ [Gm] then giving _ becomes our [F] delight. _
[C] _ _ [F] And we can't imagine the [Bb] freedom we [Eb] find _ [Bb] _ from [Cm] the things [F] we leave [Bb] behind. _ _ _ _
