[Verse 1] Famine sent ten brothers to the ruler over grain, They bowed before the dreamer but did not know his name. Simeon stayed in custody, Benjamin was the demand, And silver in their sacks revived the guilt upon their hands. [Pre-Chorus] Judah pledged his life for Benjamin, Then stood before the throne to take his place. [Chorus] You meant it for evil, but God turned it toward good, To keep a people living when no harvest ever could. The brother sold and buried in the memory of the past, Opened his arms in Egypt and forgave them all at last. [Verse 2] A hidden cup accused them, and the brothers tore their clothes, Judah spoke of Jacob's grief and would not let the youngest go. Joseph cleared the chamber, and his weeping filled the hall, "I am Joseph" broke the silence, then he embraced them all. [Bridge] Wagons carried Israel to Goshen's fertile ground, Father met the missing son and held him while he wept. Jacob crossed his hands in blessing, spoke the tribes before his death, Then was borne to Machpelah as Egypt joined the steps. [Final Chorus] You meant it for evil, but God turned it toward good, To keep a people living when no harvest ever could. Joseph calmed his fearful brothers, held the family through the need, Then died in hope that God would bring them home as He decreed. [Outro] A coffin waited in Egypt, But the promise pointed home.
