lyrics

Well the Lord summoned up a famine and broke all supply of bread
But years before, to prepare a grain store, he sent a man ahead
Commissioned with his hands in fetters, an iron collar round his neck
Dragged by the hands by the man to a foreign land, not the kind of calling you’d expect

He said
I’ve got dreams bigger than these
I’m talking bout the sun and the moon and the sheaves
You put it in my heart, when will I get to start?
I’m gonna wait and work with what I see

Well he was working as hard as he could,
the Lord with him all the time
But passed over and forgotten, feeling like he hit the bottom,
dungeon managing a waste of time?

The word of the Lord had tested him for 13 years till the king
Upon a tip from the chalice called him up to the palace
and exchanged his shackles for a ring
“Store up the grain, put it in the silos!
The starved cows just around the bend!
I’ll keep the princes in line like when I was doing time, and teach the elders some more wisdom!”

I feel just like a prisoner, I feel all alone
I had a nice jacket, I was called out of home
I know you’ve always been with me, and I believe in your plan
And I’m up to the challenge, but I’ve got fettered hands
