Supertones - Health And Wealth lyrics

rate me

Poor men bound in persecution, <br />

God's their portion everyday. <br />

But we don't know anybody <br />

who lives that way. <br />

There the church grows stronger, <br />

under politics and chains and whips. <br />

They can't explain how they <br />

slipped right through their grip. <br />

in the politics of Mao Tse-Tung. <br />

I think they got it right, <br />

so maybe we got it wrong. <br />

<br />

Health and wealth, we help ourselves, <br />

and let them play the hand <br />

that they've been dealt. <br />

Health and wealth, indulge ourselves, <br />

a big fat belly underneath our belts. <br />

Health and wealth, we help ourselves, <br />

and let them play the hand <br />

that they've been dealt. <br />

We'll never understand <br />

the Christ they've felt, <br />

if we keep on chasing <br />

health and wealth. <br />

<br />

Here we sit so comfy, rich. <br />

use, me and you, the USA... <br />

so far away from C-h-i-n-a. <br />

We think they need freedom. <br />

We're the ones in prison. <br />

We don't have the time <br />

to change the world. <br />

It doesn't take long to figure out, <br />

where all our money goes. <br />

We're the poorest billionaires <br />

Jesus knows. <br />

<br />

And we ask God to refine us, <br />

and pray that we would be freed, <br />

from all our comfortable gods, <br />

our straining and striving and <br />

chasing the wind.
