HEALTH AND WEALTH
|
|
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.
|
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.
|
use, 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 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.
