If Potiphar
had believed his wife
Joseph would have been put
in the ground
not in the prison
/which was Potiphar's prison/
/probably below his house/
which he was then put in charge of
/because Potiphar wasn't going to let/
/a false rape allegation/
/deprive him of his best help/
Potiphar knew Joseph was innocent
but was content to let him languish
/God knew Potiphar was spineless/
/but wasn't content to let him starve/
Sometimes
the concessions of weak men
may be all the justice
we can procure
but the God of our fathers
keeps sending dreams
