Danny Baranowsky - In the Beginning... lyrics

Isaac and his mother lived alone in a small
House on a hill isaac kept to himself
Drawing pictures and playing with
His toys as his
Mom watched Christian broadcasts
On the television
Life was simple, and they were both happy
That was, until the day Isaac's mom heard a
Voice from above: "Your son
Has become corrupted by sin! He
Needs to be saved!"

"I will do my best to save him, my
Lord" Isaac's mother replied, rushing
Into Isaac's room
Removing all that was evil from his life

Again, the voice called to her:
"Isaac's soul is still corrupt! He needs
To be cut off from all that is evil in this
World and confess his sins"

"I will follow your instructions
Lord i have faith in thee" Isaac's
Mother replied, as she locked Isaac
Away in his room
Away from the evils of the world
One last time
Isaac's mom heard the voice of
God calling to her:
"You have done as I asked
But I still question
Your devotion to me to prove your faith
I will ask one more thing of you"

"Yes, Lord anything" Isaac's mother begged

"To prove your love and devotion
I require a sacrifice your son
Isaac will be this
Sacrifice go into his room and end his
Life as an offering to me
To prove that you love me above all else!"

"Yes, Lord" she replied
Grabbing a butcher's knife from the kitchen
Isaac, watching through a crack in the door
Trembled in fear scrambling around
His room to find
A hiding place, he noticed a trapdoor to the
Basement, hidden under his
Rug without hesitation
He flung open the hatch just as
His mother burst through his
Door and threw himself down into
The unknown depths below
