I hope I would leave a legacy of joy -a legacy of real compassion.

There's people been friendly But they'd never be your friends Sometimes this has bent me to the ground

God did not give Joseph any special information about how to get from being the son of a nomad in Palestine to being Pharaoh's right hand man in Egypt. What He did give Joseph were eleven jealous brothers, the attention of a very loose and vengeful woman, the ability to do the service of interpreting dreams and managing other people's affairs and the grace to do that faithfully wherever he was.

There is the music that we make, and the music that makes us.
