Years ago he was taken from his home
To be a captive child
His brothers left him in a pit one day
An act of jealousy on their part
They didn’t know that God would see him through
It broke their father’s heart in two
And as he mourned with grief throughout the years
God had Joseph standing for His cause
2
A Hebrew slave within his master’s house
His works were blessed and brought prosperity
His master’s wife in lust saw he was fair
And tried her best for him to lie with her
But he rose above temptations by his faith
Knowing to yield was sin against the Lord
And though she pressed and held him by his coat
He ran and left the garment in her hands
3
Accused of rape he was tossed within a cell
But he never doubt the mercies of the Lord
Though locked away the Lord was with this son
And He rescued him to rule throughout the land
From the dungeon to the palace
He was brought to the king
From the dungeon to the palace
The governor of Egypt, Joseph was his name
