In the Beginning...

In the Beginning... - Danny Baranowsky

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 Christan 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

You son has been 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 live

Again the voice called to her

Isaac's soul is still corrupt

He needs to be cut off from all that

Is evil and 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

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've 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 sacrifce

Your son Isaac will be this sacrifice

Go into his room and end his life

As an offering to me to prove

You love me above all else

Yes Lord she replied grabbing

A butcher's knife from the kitchen

Isaac watching through a crack in his door trembled in fear

Scrambling around his room to find a hiding place

He noticed a trapped door to the basement hidden under his rug

Without hesitation he flung open hatch

Just as his mother brusts through the door

And threw himself down into the unknown depths below
