The Coat Of Many Colors

We can learn lessons from the old bible stories. We trust in God to lead us often not knowing where we are going. But He is faithful to fulfill His desires and achieve His purpose in us.

 

 

The coat of many colors

Was a story I was told

About a young boy named Joseph

Who for jealousy was sold

Into slavery by his brothers

And brought to a distant land

Where pyramids and idols stood

In a land of palms and sand

The years he spent were lonely ones

Away from Jacob’s tent

Not knowing it was in God’s plan

To Egypt he be sent

To save the whole world from a drought

And the famine that would be

And bring his family to the land

To fulfill the prophecy

Four hundred years the Israelites

Would serve on Egyptian soil

Until a man named Moses came

And freed them from their toil

Because of a coat of many colors

That Jacob gave his son

The freedom of God’s people

By faith was finally won

Now you may think that this tale

Ended thousands of years ago

But here’s one thing that I think

That all of you should know

You never know the purposes

God has in each our lives

He doesn’t tell us everything

And many things he hides

Until we go through the trial

We only see in part

When coming out the other side

It’s then we see God’s heart.
