Full Circle
Hazakim feat. Jai Lyrics

Abraham would've wanted less of a test
It's likely that Abraham would've preferred a less difficult test from God

Isaac was his only beloved - the flesh of his flesh
Isaac was Abraham's only son and therefore was very dear to him

An odd request, but how would this mesh
The request for Isaac to be sacrificed seemed strange and difficult to comprehend

If he was "the son of the promise" - destined and blessed?
Isaac was seen as a promise from God and was considered blessed

Strange. Could Abraham have an offspring?
The idea of sacrificing one's offspring seemed very strange

If Adonai wanted Isaac to be an offering?
If God truly wanted Isaac to be sacrificed

How he was feeling inside was hard for him to describe
Abraham was likely feeling conflicting emotions that were hard to put into words

To have to give up his son, yet still he trusted in God
Despite the difficult situation, Abraham still had faith in and trusted God

With two of his guys & plenty food and supplies
Abraham brought two servants and enough supplies for the journey

Travelled throughout the night, pretty soon they arrived
After travelling all night, they eventually arrived at their destination

On the third day Abraham lifted his eyes
On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up

As he surveyed the mountains on every side
Abraham looked around at the mountains in the area

It came time, God gave him a sign
God provided a sign to Abraham

The men who accompanied him stayed behind
The servants who had travelled with Abraham remained where they were

He grabbed the knife and fire for mountain Moriah
Abraham took a knife and fire with him up the mountain

Isaac carried the lumber his father supplied him
Isaac carried the wood for the sacrifice up the mountain

Isaac asked, "where's the Lamb for the sacrifice?"
Isaac wondered where the lamb for the sacrifice was

Then his Dad replied, "The Lord himself said he would provide it."
Abraham told Isaac that God would provide the lamb

Bound Isaac - laced with chords,
Isaac was bound with cords

Placed the wood out in order - arranged the boards
The wood for the sacrifice was arranged in a certain order

Laid Isaac on the altar - prayed to the Lord
Isaac was laid on the altar and Abraham prayed to God

Raised his knife for the slaughter - then came a voice
Abraham raised his knife to sacrifice Isaac when he heard a voice

"Don't touch your Son, your beloved one
God commanded Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac

you have overcome, now your job is done."
Abraham had passed the test and proven his faith in God

In the thorn bush was a Ram caught in a thicket
A ram was found in a thorn bush, which was used for the sacrifice instead of Isaac

Hugs his Son, the curtain draws for intermission
Abraham hugged his son and the story takes a break from this scene

It's like a foreshadow - you already know
The story is like a foreshadowing of a future event

What was and is and is to come
This relates to future events that will happen

Messiah - we lift you higher
The Messiah is praised in this line

Round and round, full circle
The story has come full circle

That's why I will trust you
This line expresses trust in God

The curtain re-opens the site is a tragedy
The story resumes and is now a tragic event

A battered anatomy Messiah in agony
The Messiah is physically suffering in this scene

Before the Sanhedrien they charge Him with blasphemy
The Messiah is charged with blasphemy in front of the Sanhedrin

Bound with chords while they beat him - this prophecy had to be
The Messiah was bound and beaten, fulfilling a prophecy

T'was the Roman Government that summoned the bludgeon
The Roman government was responsible for the punishment

Ordered the execution, the ultimate suffering
The Roman government ordered the execution which was the ultimate form of suffering

It's the unfolding drama, this time a changed scene
The story is still unfolding, yet it has taken a different direction

Son submits to his Father, clearly the same theme
The Messiah submits to His Father just as Isaac did

The sovereign promise given on Mount Moriah
The promise given on Mount Moriah is being fulfilled in this scene

Now on the hill of Galgotha, fulfilled in the Messiah
The promise is now fulfilled at Golgotha through the Messiah

Adorned with a crown just for an added touch
The Messiah wore a crown of thorns for added suffering

With thorns on his brow like the Ram in the Bush
The Messiah had thorns like the ram in the bush on His head

Laid the wood out in order by the roman soldiers
The Roman soldiers placed the wood in order for the crucifixion

In similar fashion he carried the wood upon his shoulders
The Messiah carried the wood for the crucifixion

The prophets described his soul as being an offering
The prophets foresaw that the Messiah's soul would be offered as a sacrifice

Like Isaac the Father's beloved and the Only Begotten
The Messiah is like Isaac, a beloved son and the only begotten

Understand it was part of his plan
The suffering of the Messiah was planned by God

God didn't promise a ram said he'd provide him a lamb
God promised to provide a lamb, not a ram

Yeshua - Lamb of God
The Messiah is referred to as the Lamb of God

Spread out upon the altar - hanging high
The Messiah was crucified and hung on a cross

We see the Holy Father raise up His knife
God the Father metaphorically raised His knife to sacrifice His Son

Killing his Only Begotten taking his life
God allowed His Son to be sacrificed and killed

And in the same way Isaac's life had been saved
Isaac's life was spared and in the same way, others can be saved through the Messiah's sacrifice

It was on the third day Yeshua had been raised
The Messiah was resurrected on the third day

Full Circle like a carousel, parallel
The story has come full circle and is parallel to the story of Abraham and Isaac

Dean's List, Honor Roll, his word never fails
This line doesn't appear to have a clear meaning related to the story

The Lord is faithful, He'll keep His promise
God is faithful and will keep His promises

The Lamb was slain and I'm free from bondage
The Messiah's sacrifice has freed people from bondage

Like it was prophesied, Lamb of God died
The death of the Messiah was prophesied

Then He rose gave the Spirit as a down payment
After resurrecting, the Messiah gave the Holy Spirit to people as a promise

So we can trust Him with our lives
People can trust in the Messiah with their lives

And we can be ever sure His blood is powerful to save us
The blood of the Messiah is powerful enough to save people

Despite all the pain that we face - yeah its tough in this race
Life can be hard and painful

But we can trust in His grace
Despite the hardships, people can trust in God's grace

He took all our shame and disgrace when He hung in our place
The Messiah took on people's shame and disgrace when He was crucified

Our guilt His love can erase
The love of the Messiah can forgive and erase people's guilt

Round and round it's full circle - this we can know
The story has come full circle and this is something people can know

His burden is rest for the soul
The burdens of life can be lifted by the Messiah

And His promise - His promise is sure
God's promises are reliable and trustworthy

He's honest and holy, He got us, will not let us go
God is honest, holy and will not abandon people

So we trust in Him and just Him
People should trust in God and only Him

Forever, never will lie because the Lord's faithful
God is always truthful and faithful
