Young Joseph

In the land of Canaan Jacob settled with his two wives Leah and Rachel with God he once wrestled Later being named Israel Jacob-Israel had 12 sons And he loved Joseph a little more than the other ones upon him he bestowed a coat of many colors Oh young Joseph seventeen was given messages in his dreams from things of sheafs, the sun moon and stars that were bowing down to him Joseph's brothers fed on their jealousy plotting out against the boy without any integrity tossing him into a pit selling him in to slavery to get rid of him His brothers took a young kid and dipped the coat of many colors in its blood bringing it to their father Jacob-Israel who mourned with grief and hurt filled with disbelief Oh young Joseph seventeen many years have gone by Since you stood in front of your family, yet now Your unrecognized A ruler in Egypt the LORD GOD made you in the land you were first a slave to oh young Joseph.... Oh Young Joseph your emotions are wild as you see your family and remember seventeen Tears you no longer fight back as you embrace with love your brothers with arms wide open your all a little broken Yet you tell them there's no blame among them from what was done in the past For it was God who brought you to this land to save them from the famine at hand Oh young Joseph seventeen God's given you so much more than you ever dreamed
