Overall Meaning

The song opens with the declaration that "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth," which is a direct quote from the first verse in the book of Genesis. The repetition of this line throughout the song serves to reinforce this central tenet of the Abrahamic faiths, namely that God is the creator of all things.

The lyrics also include the phrase "Look away beyond the blue," which is likely a reference to the sky and a reminder that God's power extends beyond the visible horizon. The repetition of the phrase "True Lord, true Lord remember me" further reinforces the song's religious message by underscoring the need for believers to call on God for protection and guidance.

Overall, "In the Beginning" is a simple and straightforward song that celebrates the power and majesty of the God of the Bible.
