**Verse 1**
Joseph walked in foreign places,
Yet the Lord was by his side,
Serving true in every duty,
God’s own favor was his guide.
When the temptations tried to draw him,
Calling him to go astray,
He stood firm in holy reverence,
Chose the Lord’s pure, faithful way.
**Chorus**
Faithful in temptation,
True in every test,
Standing with conviction,
God’s way is the best.
Though the prison chains may tighten,
Still the soul is free,
Faithful in temptation,
Lord, he follows Thee.
**Verse 2**
Lies arose and garments taken,
Chains were set on hands so just,
Yet his heart remained unbroken,
Still he placed in God his trust.
Though the darkness tried to bind him,
Still God’s mercy did not fail,
Every trial proved His nearness,
Through every test he would prevail.
**Chorus**
Faithful in temptation,
True in every test,
Standing with conviction,
God’s way is the best.
Though the prison chains may tighten,
Still the soul is free,
Faithful in temptation,
Lord, he follows Thee.
**Verse 3**
From the pain God shaped a purpose,
From the trial rose His plan,
Joseph’s faith became a witness,
To the mighty hand of God’s span.
What the foe designed for sorrow,
Turned to glory by His hand,
Faithfulness through every testing,
Built a hope that still will stand.
**Chorus**
Faithful in temptation,
True in every test,
Standing with conviction,
God’s way is the best.
Though the prison chains may tighten,
Still the soul is free,
Faithful in temptation,
Lord, he follows Thee.
