The lyrics were written by my pastor as part of his sermon series "Faith sounds like music". This one was on Country.
Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
He was just seventeen when God gave him a dream
Someday we would bow to him as king
They took him by the coat then killed a mountain goat
They splashed the coat with blood
And dropped him in a great big hole
[CHORUS]
God was with him and God was with him
God was with him it was true
If God was with him if God was with him
He will be with you
[VERSE 2]
They sold him as a slave then one day
He got a look that said she wanted him today
He said "No way, I got to get away"
And she tried crying rape
Her husband had him locked away
[CHORUS]
[VERSE 3]
Sitting in a jail couldn’t post bail
Then he met some good ole boys with some nightmares
He told one he would live another he would die
Then he stayed for two more years
Sat and wondered why
[BRIDGE]
Then one night the word came down
That the king had had a dream
And there was only one man
That could tell him what it means
So Joseph climbed out of the dark
Where for thirteen years he prayed
And a promise to a teenage boy
Came to life that day
