Health And Wealth Lyrics - The O.c. Supertones

Poor men bound in persecution 

God's their portion everyday 

But we don't know anybody 

Who lives that way 

There the church grows stronger 

Under politics and chains and whips 

They can't explain how they 

Slipped right through their grip 

A purifying persecution 

In the politics of Mao Tse Tung 

I think they got it right 

So maybe we got it wrong 

Health and wealth, we help ourselves 

And let them play the hand that they've been dealt 

Health and wealth, indulge ourselves 

A big fat belly underneath our belts 

Health and wealth, we help ourselves 

And let them play the hand that they've been dealt 

We'll never understand the Christ they've felt 

If we keep on chasing health and wealth 

Here we sit so comfy, rich 

Us, me and you, the USA 

So far away from C H I N A 

We think they need freedom 

We're the ones in prison 

We don't have the time to change the world 

It doesn't take long to figure it out 

Where all our money goes 

We're the poorest billionaires, Jesus knows 

And we ask God to refine us 

And pray that we would be freed 

From all our comfortable gods 

Our straining and striving and chasing the wind
