Song Lyrics
Verse 1
I feel like Joseph
Down in the dungeon
Wondering if You see me
Will the cupbearer
Ever remember
Who You have called me to be?
PreChorus
All I did was obey
Yet all I got was betrayed
Lord, I don't understand
Where is Your goodness?
Chorus
Oh, am I forgotten
Lost and forsaken ?
Oh, maybe You're finished
Keeping Your promise
Has Your faithfulness run out?
How do I trust You now ?
Verse 2
There was a day when
I wore a garment
Of the most beautiful colors
I was so gifted
Called and anointed
Walking in strength
and so much favor
PreChorus
All these dreams in my heart
Yet here I sit in the dark
Lord, I don't understand
Where is Your goodness?
Chorus
Bridge
Do you still have a plan that will prosper
To give me a hope and a future?
Is prison just part of my story
That You're still writing ?
1/2 Chorus
Oh, am I forgotten or forsaken?
Oh, maybe You're finished...
but You promised
Final Chorus
Oh, I'm not forgotten
Never forsaken
Oh, You are not finished
Keeping Your promise
You've never let me down
No You've never let me down
God, You've never let me down
Help me to trust You now
