Supertones - Health & 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.
