Joseph
Faixa 4
I was 17 with a coat of light Dreams that lifted me through the night My brothers burned at what I’d say They took my robe and sold me away
Down to Egypt, far from home I learned to serve in a stranger’s home I kept the faith where I was thrown In Potiphar’s house I gained some trust
Then lies were told, iron and dust Chains and a cell, the days ran long But God was with me, He made me strong Two men dreamed I told it true
One forgot till Pharaoh knew
What you meant for evil God turned it for good From pits and prisons To where He said I would What you meant for evil
Grace rewrote my name To feed the hungry in the famine’s flame Pharaoh dreamed of years run dry I spoke of grain beneath the sky
He set a ring upon my hand Second to none in all the land Barns were filled for seven years Then hunger spread, so did our tears
Strangers bowed before my throne But I knew the faces like my own I tested hearts once hard as stone Till Judah’s love for Benjamin shone
I could not hold my secret in I called them close and drew them in
What you meant for evil God turned it for good From pits and prisons To where he said I would What you meant for evil
Mercy held our line A family man did In his time I wept for all the years we lost
But found a hand above the cause He placed me where the river runs To save my father’s distant sons What you meant for evil
God turned it for good He wrote our story Further than we could When famine roared
His kindness stood He turned it, turned it For our good They knew me by another name
