lyrics

Jacob had himself about seven sons
And Joseph was his favorite one
And Joseph dreamed a simple dream
That the filthy ones would be made clean
that the empty ones would be made full
that the broken ones would again be whole;
Can I get an Amen? Can I get an Amen? Amen!

When his brothers learned it was so
They all conspired to have him slo
One day they all went on a trip
They cast him down into a pit
Joseph didn’t put up much fight
But he never did quite lose his life
His life was spared and he was made a slave
He served Egyptians night and day
He served a man named Potiphar
The captain of the Pharaoh’s guard
He liked Joseph well—until one night
He walked in on Joseph with his wife
Potiphar had him thrown in jail
But the Lord was with him in the jail
Chorus

And when the pharaoh dreamed a puzzling dream
He asked everybody, “What’s it mean?”
Joseph said, “I know what it means—”
And he explained the meaning of his dream
When the Pharaoh heard his dream described
He felt his eyes had been opened wide
And he brought him out and it was seen
That the filthy one had been made clean
That the empty one had been made full
That the broken one had been made whole
Chorus
