Health and Wealth

Poor men bound in persecution
God's their portion every day
We don't know anybody who lives that way
Oh no, no, no, no
There the church grows stronger
Under politics and chains and whips
Can't explain how they slip right through their grip
Oh no, no, no

Go and find persecution in the policies of Mao Zedong
I think they got it right, so maybe we got it wrong

Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
Held their wealth, indulge ourselves
A big fat belly underneath our belt
Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
We'll never understand nor Christ's hate mail
If we keep on chasing health and wealth

Here we sit so comfy
Rich us, me and you, the USA
So far away from CHA, hey
We think they need freedom
We're the ones in a prison
We don't have the time to change the world
Oh no, no, no, no

Doesn't take long to figure it out, where all the money goes
With the poorest billionaires, Jesus knows

Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
Held their wealth, indulge ourselves
A big fat belly underneath our belt
Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
We'll never understand nor Christ's hate mail
If we keep on chasing health and wealth

And we ask God to refine us
And pray that we would be free
From all our comfortable gods
Our straining and striving and chasing the wind

Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
Held their wealth, indulge ourselves
A big fat belly underneath our belt
Held their wealth, we help ourselves
And let them play the hand that they've been dealt
We'll never understand nor Christ's hate mail
If we keep on chasing health and wealth
