The Story of Joseph: A Bible Song for Kids
This catchy song tells the story of Joseph from the Bible, a story filled with betrayal, forgiveness, and ultimately, God’s amazing plan. It’s a perfect way to introduce kids to this inspiring tale and teach them important lessons about faith, forgiveness, and God’s love.
Verse 1:
Joseph was a dreamer, he saw visions in the night
He told his brothers all about them, with all his might
His brothers were jealous, they didn’t like his dreams
They threw him in a pit, it seemed like a bad scene.
Chorus:
But God had a plan, for Joseph, you see
He’d rise above the darkness, and set his spirit free
He’d become a leader, a man of great renown
And through it all, God’s love would never drown.
Verse 2:
They sold him into slavery, to a land far away
He worked hard and was faithful, day by day
He rose to power, in Egypt’s land
But never forgot his family, or God’s guiding hand.
Chorus:
But God had a plan, for Joseph, you see
He’d rise above the darkness, and set his spirit free
He’d become a leader, a man of great renown
And through it all, God’s love would never drown.
Bridge:
When a famine struck the land, Joseph’s brothers came
They didn’t recognize him, but he knew their names
He forgave them for their actions, with a heart so kind
And showed them God’s love, in every word and sign.
Chorus:
But God had a plan, for Joseph, you see
He’d rise above the darkness, and set his spirit free
He’d become a leader, a man of great renown
And through it all, God’s love would never drown.
