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 hand I stand.
