Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons He loved him as the son of his old age And by his love he made for him a coat of many colors But through envy, animosity had fueled his other sons’ rage Then Joseph had a dream one night and told it to his brothers Your sheaves had gathered round and bowed to mine And still another dream I had the sun, the moon, and stars Bowed down to me, yet all could see that Joseph knew not why His brothers grew in jealousy; his father contained all he could What they meant for evil, God meant it for good Then Israel told Joseph, come, I’ll send you to your brothers His coat of many colors then they stripped Let’s see what comes of this master of all dreams with no one to deliver His life they spared, but without care they threw him in the pit They spied a band of Ishmaelites en route to Egypt going down They lifted up devising eyes to gaze We’ll sell him to the Ishmaelites, and dip his color coat in blood His father saw, couldn’t bear it all, and mourned for many days Now Jacob couldn’t understand what God intended that he would What they meant for evil, God meant it for good Jacob had to now withstand such pain he never knew he could But what was meant for evil, God meant it for good When dreams of fate unto him came, Joseph confided in his God With wisdom unsurpassed, by God he reigned His storehouse blessed the earth with grain ‘midst famine and amidst affliction On Israel distress befell, to Egypt down they came Recalling dreams he’d dreamt of them, he saw and recognized his brothers They pleaded humbly recognizing not Through tests of love their hearts declared their guilt and love unto their father Cried he fervidly, I am Joseph! He who sent me here was God His brothers couldn’t understand, what Joseph now understood What they meant for evil, God meant it for good It’s often hard to understand, far more be misunderstood What is meant for evil, God meant it for good Although intent be evil, God meant it for good
