From Pit to Palace
Verse 1
My father gave a coat so bright
Colors shining in the light
Brothers watched with jealous eyes
Hated dreams of my sunrise
Threw me down, that dusty pit
Sold me off, that was it
Chains and sand, a foreign land
Life slipped through my hands
Chorus
From the pit to the palace door
God was with me evermore
What was meant to bring me pain
Turned to blessing in the rain
Through the dark, I found the way
Dreams don’t die, they just delay
Every trial had a plan
In God’s hands,
I stand
Verse 2
Served a man named Potiphar
Worked so hard, rose so far
False words came, I took the fall
Prison walls became my hall
In the night, the dreams returned
Mysteries the others spurned
I could see what they all feared
Truth was drawing near
Chorus
From the pit to the palace door
God was with me evermore
What was meant to bring me pain
Turned to blessing in the rain
Through the dark, I found the way
Dreams don’t die, they just delay
Every trial had a plan
In God’s hands,
I stand
Verse 3
Pharaoh dreamed of coming years
Seven full and seven tears
I spoke clear what must be done
Store the grain, prepare everyone
Soon the land was in my care
Second throne, I was there
Famine came, the world bowed low
Still my heart did know
Verse 4
Brothers stood before my face
Time had changed us all by grace
Tears fell down, I called their name
Love was stronger than the pain
What you meant for harm that day
God turned good along the way
Now I see, it’s plain to me
How it all would be
Final Chorus
From the pit to the palace door
God was with me evermore
What was meant to bring me pain
Turned to blessing in the rain
Through the dark, I found the way
Dreams don’t die, they just delay
Every trial had a plan
In God’s hands…
I stand
