[Verse 1] Joseph served with favor in an Egyptian captain's house, But temptation seized his garment and turned innocence around. A lie became his sentence, iron doors became his sky, Yet the LORD was with him even where the prisoners cried. [Pre-Chorus] Two dreams came in the darkness, One restored, one ended at the feast. [Chorus] From prison to the throne in a single day, God gave the hidden meaning no wise man could explain. Seven years of plenty, seven years of need, The forgotten Hebrew rose to store the nation's grain. [Verse 2] The cupbearer forgot him till Pharaoh dreamed in pairs, Lean cattle swallowed fat ones, blasted ears consumed the fair. Joseph shaved and stood before him, giving all the praise to God, Then spoke of coming famine and the storehouses required. [Bridge] A ring moved to his finger, linen clothed the prisoner, A chariot crossed the kingdom while the people bent before him. Manasseh marked forgetting, Ephraim the fruitful pain, Then hunger reached the nations and all roads came for grain. [Final Chorus] From prison to the throne in a single day, God gave the hidden meaning no wise man could explain. What chains could not extinguish, providence revealed, The forgotten Hebrew stood with Egypt at his feet. [Outro] The cell had been a passage, And famine waited at the gate.
