“Isaac” draws from the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac in Genesis 22. As I reflected upon this story, I realized how much it related to what I was going through. This song is about giving something that God gave you back to Him, even if it hurts.
Isaac Lyrics
[Intro]
Even when I feel like I'm gonna break
I will lift my hands to You
[Verse 1]
Open up, lift your hands higher
I know it's hard
Give me back what I have given
Trust my heart (You can trust my heart)
I have loved him before you have
Follow me
Slowly we will climb together
I'm not leavin' you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
This is so important
No, don't rush what I've started
See I am doing a new thing, yeah, a new thing
[Chorus]
You're faithful to me, I'm faithful to You
You loved me first, no questions asked
You're faithful to me, I'm faithful to You
'Cause You loved me first, no questions asked
[Verse 2]
Open up your eyes so you see what I see (You see what I see, you see what I see, yeah)
Heaven's closer than you ever dreamed it'd be (Closer than you dreamed it)
Closer than you dreamed it'd be
[Chorus]
You're faithful to me, I'm faithful to You
You loved me first, no questions asked
You're faithful to me, I'm faithful to You
'Cause you loved me first, no questions asked
[Bridge]
I will lift my hands
So, I will lift my hands
Even when I feel like I'm gonna break
I know what You say to me never changes
I will lift my hands to You
I will lift my hands to You (Hands, hands, hands)
God I trust, You got somethin' better for me
I know You got somethin' better for me
I trust that You got better for me
I trust that You got better for me
[Chorus]
You're faithful to me (You're faithful to me, yeah), I'm faithful to You
You loved me first (You loved me first), no questions asked
You're faithful to me (You're faithful), I'm faithful to You
'Cause you loved me first, and no questions asked
[Outro]
I will lift my hands (I'll lift my hands to the rhythm to You)
So, I will lift my hands (I'll just say yes, I'll just say yes, yeah)
Even when I feel like I'm gonna break
I know what You're sending me never changes
I will lift my hands (Hands) to You
Isaac will be saved

“While writing this song, I didn’t know what to call it. I kept hearing people mention the story of Abraham and Isaac, and how parallel my story was to it.

I was in Indiana in November 2017. And, in May of that year, I had met someone and was in a relationship with him for six months.

What does the artist want those who hear the song to take away from it?
As I got healthier and spent time with the Lord, finishing this song all stemmed from me believing and knowing God had something better planned for me than I could see at the time.
