Hazakim, J. Williams - Don't Forget the Ayin lyrics
[Hazakim, J. Williams - Don't Forget the Ayin lyrics]
The plight of Israel
I search for a way to begin
Misunderstood, rejected, and hated of men
And Messiah's the same story, no vainglory
Unfairly blamed
Many even treating his name poorly
But he was born Yeshua
From the kingly tribe of Judah
Came the promised ruler
Brought truth and gave sight to the blind
Strength to the lame
Some leaders were plotting
But they couldn't stop him
So they came through with a devious option
So his name would be forgotten
They called him Yeshu
Brought love to a world
That's wicked and evil
Fitting that he should suffer in
The midst of his people
How does it feel to be judged
By those who don't know you?
Read his Word for yourself
There's more to Yeshua than
What they told you
(He's THE Israeli he was raised in Nazareth
Was circumcised, kept kosher
And also kept the Sabbath
He never broke the Torah
Not even a little bit
But the history about Him
Has nearly been erased)
He's still rejected by his own
He isn't recognized at home
It's like the story of Joseph
It's time to rectify this wrong
The Messiah of Israel
He's the pride of the nation
He's a light to the Gentiles
Yeshua is our salvation
All hail the Messiah (all hail, all hail)
Who reigns forevermore, forvermore
(forevermore) please don't forget the ayin
(please, don't, please, don't)
His name is wonderful, wonderful
Don't forget the ayin
Mitel Aviv li'rushalayim
Shalom ba mi shamayim ana zichru et ha'ayin
(From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Peace comes to you from heaven
Don't forget the ayin)
Rules the very nation
Holds the rod in his hand
Firstborn of all creation
Son of God, Son of Man
The prophets have spoken
Not a single bone would be broken
Standing before his accusers
Not a single word would be spoken
Like the serpent on the pole
He'll be cursed upon the tree
Good shepherd of the fold
Who'll protect us from defeat
He'll be righteous and blameless
Even through trials and temptations
He'll be a light to the nations
Even Gentiles will embrace him
He fixed the debt of sin and death
Priest in the order of Melchizedek
This Jewish man brought more Gentiles
To God than any Jew living yet
The ancient king through David's seed
Faithful priest for whom angels sing
The beginning and end, A to Z
The promised one many can't wait to see, yeah
So sound the horn a child is born
Spat upon, bound with cords
Crowned with thorns
Those who call him "Yeshu"
Got his title wrong
Name is Yeshua and there's nothing
To be frowned upon
All hail the Messiah (all hail, all hail)
Who reigns forevermore, forvermore
(forevermore) please don't forget the ayin
(please, don't, please, don't)
His name is wonderful, wonderful
Don't forget the ayin
Mitel Aviv li'rushalayim
Shalom ba mi shamayim ana zichru et ha'ayin
