This song focuses on the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis. It paints a picture that when things seem to be going in a terrible direction, to trust that God works all things for good. Just as God did with Joseph.
Lyrics
A man of God's chosen people
What he seen as a miracle
Turned into what looked to be a tragedy
Jacob was in agony
How could this turn into a tragedy
10 brothers with jealousy and strife
With a plot to take their own brother's life
Turned to selling him into slavery and a made up lie
All Joseph could ask is why God why
But in the moments when things look hopeless
Feeling like no one wants us
We can look back and know
That our God works all things for good
Piecing together our story for His glory
Always working things for our good
Just look to Jesus He was nailed to the wood
On the cross for our salvation
This was His plan before He made us
Ohh our God is good
Earning trust as a slave
Joseph seemed to be making way
Then falsely blamed for a sin he did not do
Thrown into jail and left in confusion
Wondering what God could be doing
Dreams uncovered and things looked good
But the cupbearer never gave word
In the moments when things look hopeless
Feeling like no one wants us
We can look back and know
That our God works all things for good
Piecing together our story for His glory
Always working things for our good
Just look to Jesus He was nailed to the wood
On the cross for our salvation
This was His plan before He made us
Ohh our God is good
A plan that God ordained will never go in vain
Trust that our God is the same
No He never changed
God's plan was uncovered
Bringing Joseph unto Pharaoh
Appointed over all the land
Joseph could see God's hand
God working all things for good
So in the moments when things look hopeless
Feeling like no one wants us
We can look back and know
That our God works all things for good
Piecing together our story for His glory
Always working things for our good
Just look to Jesus He was nailed to the wood
On the cross for our salvation
This was His plan before He made us
Ohh our God is good
So in the moments when you feel lost
Lift your head and look to the cross
And believe we serve a faithful God
