Jacob's Son

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 blessings 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 blessings 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, then empty tears.

I spoke clear what must be done

Store the grain, prepare everyone

Soon the land was in my care

Near the 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 new space.

Tears fell down, I called their names.

Love was stronger than the pain.

What they meant for harm that day

God turned to good along the way

Now I see, it’s plain to me

How all things 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 blessings 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.
