When the House Is Dark
Track 9
They threw him in the pit But God was not surprised They sold him down to Egypt, but heaven never closed its eyes. Do not curse the valley, do not call the darkness Lord.
The road that feels like exile, may be mercy moving forward. Keep your hands clean when the house is dark. Honor comes from God when you guard your heart Temptation came in secret with a whisper and a door
But Joseph fled the garment and chose the Holy Lord You may lose your coat for righteousness You may pay for telling truth But better chains with conscience
Than a palace far from you
Keep your hands clean When the house is dark Honor comes from God When you guard your heart
guitar solo The prison could not bury what the Lord had placed inside. The cupbearer forgot him, but God remembered time. Do not mistake delay for the absence of his hand.
The Lord can make a dungeon, the road to save a land. Keep your hands clean when the house is dark Honor comes from God when you guard your heart Dreams may sleep for many years Faith may wait behind the bars But the God who sees in secret still knows the name of stars.
Keep your hands clean when the house is dark. Honor comes from God when you guard your heart.
Keep your hands clean When the house is dark Honor comes from God When you guard your heart
From the pit to Pharaoh’s hall From the chains to saving grain God was riding mercy Through the years of pain
