HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES

HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES

NOW JOSEPH WAS THE SON OF JACOB AND HIS OLD AGE

SO HE MADE HIM A COAT OF MANY COLORS

HE WAS FAVORED OF HIS FATHER

BUT HE CONSTANTLY PUT UP

WITH THE ENVY OF HIS OLDER BROTHERS

SO, UNBEKNOWNST TO THEIR FATHER, THEY SOLD HIM INTO SLAVERY

AND REPORTED TO JACOB THAT JOSEPH HAD BEEN SLAIN

THEN JACOB WEPT AND REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED

AND SPENT MANY YEARS OF HIS LIFE IN GREAT PAIN

THEN A FAMINE AROSE IN THE LAND OF CANAAN

SO JACOB SENT HIS SONS DOWN TO EGYPT TO BUY CORN

THEY HE DID NOT KNOW

THAT PHARAOH HAD PROMOTED THEIR BROTHER JOSEPH

TO BE GOVERNOR AND LORD 

WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE IDENTITY OF JOSEPH

THEY TREMBLE

AND SAID SURELY HE'LL SLAY US FOR THE EVIL WE'VE DONE

JOSEPH FORGAVE THEM AND SAID GOD HAS SENT ME HERE

TO PRESERVE LIFE IN MANY NATIONS

SO THE SONS OF JACOB RETURN TO THEIR FATHER

AND REPORTED THAT JOSEPH WAS ALIVE

AND WELL THEY CONFESS ALL THEIR EVIL NEEDS

AND TOLD TO THEIR FATHER THE STORY

THAT JOSEPH MADE THE PROMISE TO TELL

HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES

AND HE'S LOADED MORE THAN ENOUGH BREAD

TO SAVE EVERY SOUL

HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES

AND HE'S LONGING FOR ALL OF HIS FAMILY

TO GATHER ROUND HIS THRONE

NOW THE FATHER SENT THE SON DOWN FROM HEAVEN

TO PRESERVE LIFE AND TO GIVE HIMSELF A RANSOM FOR ALL

BUT THE ENVIOUS BROTHER AND BETRAYED

HIM AND BEAT HIM AND CONDEMNED HIM TO DEATH

IN PIRATES JUDGMENT HALL

SO THEY CRUCIFIED JESUS ON A HILL CALLED MOUNT CALVARY

HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET TO THE CROSS THEY DID NAIL

THEY LAID HIM IN A GRAVE BUT HE AROSE ON THE THIRD DAY

CHARGED HIS DISCIPLES THE STORY TO TELL

HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES AND HE'S LOADED

WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH GRACE TO SAVE EVERY SOUL

HE LIVES HE'S LORD HE LOVES AND HE'S LONGING

ALL OF HIS FAMILY TOGETHER ROUND HIS THRONE

ALL OF HIS FAMILY TOGETHER ROUND HIS THRONE
