One peaceful afternoon I picked up from my mailbox The strangest looking letter I'd ever seen A chilling little envelope bordered with flying bats And serpents whose eyes were tinted green. The letter was addressed to me so as I opened it I froze What I read turned my complexion three shades of blue It said, 'My name is Isaac Horowitz I'm a male witch, a warlock And I feel I need to spend some time with you
Now as a Christian from a little church with God's call on my life A man of faith and power with a challenge to grow I did what any saint would do in my situation I tore it up said, 'Lord, no way I'm gonna go Then gently and methodically the Holy Spirit spoke And reminded me we're God's voice to our nation It's the church's responsibility to witness So reluctantly I accepted this witch's invitation
He had the house you'd expect The old English cottage, a 'Nightmare on Elm Street Special right to the core, the overgrown ivy The gate that creaked when opened Somehow you'd expect Freddy to answer this door The doorbell rang, a hollow gong The knob twisted then opened And Isaac stood before me with a grin His jet black hair and well trimmed beard flowed With his black silk clothes My skin crawled as he said, 'Please come on in
His house was filled with every occultic symbol you could fathom Hanging pentagrams and horoscope signs A Ouija board and dungeons and dragons game Set on the table, a crystal ball with an incandescent shine Then graciously he handed me some steaming herbal tea Its presence caused my memory to jog... I thought of every horror flick I'd seen When I was a kid and thought If you drink this stuff next day you'll be a frog
Then he led me to a high backed chair as he meticulously Began to unfold his scenario with evil patience I was given a giant leather bound book jammed With newspaper clipping, thus the reason for this witch's invitation With eagerness he pointed to each article with pride He said, 'I healed this woman through a Babylonian chant See this man, I cured him while performing druid worship I was paid to curse this man with AIDS by his aunt
On and on, page after page, delightfully he flaunted each incident For an hour without a breath He said, 'Do you realize through my understanding Of the dark regions that I can make you rich Or even curse someone to death? I sat literally intimidated by the immensity In demon power while his face shone With a satanic arrogant bliss Then placing his hands on the arms of my chair And leaning into my face he said What can your God do to compete with this?
I knew then how Moses felt How when his rod turned to a serpent And the three Egyptian magicians did the same It's as if you're sitting there in that stunned moment While your faith get violated And all you feel is weak, powerless and lame I desperately and deeply prayed saying Jesus give me wisdom I don't want to put you through some foolish test Then a shaft of light shot through my soul Lighting my eyes with fire God stood me up and I threw the book back in his chest
I said 'Isaac, I'll not compare God's miracles versus Satan's The issue's not God's kingdom and Satan's lair The real comparison is the condition of your soul And the condition of mine, and you puppet of the devil That I will compare. My friend, one day they're coming for you The soft associates in your incantations The friendly demons you think you now control The time will come when you'll be lying in bed wheezing Like a dying animal and those spirits lay claim To the rights they own to your soul
Then the room will grow dark And the most hideous evil faces will come Flaming out of the floor with a yell! The vile informants that promised reincarnation Will claw your spirit and victoriously drag your soul to hell!
Then I grabbed the book and said In that moment which mantra Which incantation you gonna chant to tell them To leave you alone? My friend I know beyond a shadow of a doubt What I would say... I'm bought with the blood of Jesus! Let me go!
I said, 'Isaac, when you tossed that book in my lap You gloated with a sinister victory You rejoiced when you saw your name in black and white Now I rejoice, but not that your counsel of demons Are subject to Jesus, but that my name is written In the Lamb's Book of Life! Then Isaac jumped up from his chair and screamed You must leave now! I said, 'I will, but one last obligation Next time think twice before you rumble With a man of God!!! And by the way thanks for your.. uhh... Witch's invitation
