We Meant It for Evil

We saw the code our father gave him We heard the dreams he used to tell We hated mercy on our brother And sold him down the road to hell

We took the silver, told the story We stained the robe and watched him grieve We buried truth beneath our silence And lived the lie we chose to weave

We meant it for evil God meant it for good

We meant it for evil God meant it for good

We carried guilt, we hid the truth, we feared the brother, we sold in youth, but Joseph wept, and mercy stood.

We meant it for evil, God meant it for good We meant it for evil, God meant it for good

We meant it for evil, God meant it for good We meant it for evil, God meant it for good

Jealous hands, crooked hearts, bloody robe, broken parts But God moved, understood, turned our sin into good We meant it for evil, God meant it for good God meant it for good
