[Verse 1]
Am7 Bm7 F11
Oh my Father, I am Joseph
Em7 F11
One who walks upon the earth
G11 Am7 Em7 F11
I am hated by my bro-thers
Em7 G11
They throw stones and spiteful words
Am7 Bm7 F11
They have robbed me of my vineyards
Em7 F11
And have set my fields afire
G11 Am7 Em7 F11 Em7
They would rather see me ha - nging as a saint
G11
Than by their side
[Refrain]

Kneeling before me, my Lord.
[Verse 2]
Am7 Bm7 F11
Oh my Father, I am Joseph
Em7 F11
Just the way you had me made
G11 Am7 Em7 F11
Heaven's birds rest on my shoul-ders
Em7 G11
And the wheat bows my way
Am7 Bm7 F11
And for being like you made me
Em7 F11
They have thrown me in the well
G11 Am7 Em7 F11
For the dreams that I've had late-ly
Em7 G11
Seem too real not to tell
[Refrain]
F11 G11 Am7
For I saw eleven stars
F11 G11 Am7
The sun and the moon
Bb Am7 G11
Kneeling before me, my Lord
