Dunsin Oyekan - Hagiazo Lyrics
Lyrics
I asked the Lord what heaven is singing now
He said to me 'Hagiazo' (Sanctify)
I dedicate myself to You, my Lord
The life I live is no longer my own
Hagiazo, hagiazo, hagiazo
I present myself to You
Separated unto You
This is what heaven is singing now
They are singing 'Hagiazo' (Sanctify)
I dedicate myself to You, O Lord
The life I live is no longer my own
Make me holy, Make me worthy
Ever ready for the Master
I present myself to You
Separated unto You
[repeats]

Hagiazo - Dunsin Oyekan
Meaning & Inspiration
Dunsin Oyekan’s single, “Hagiazo,” which arrived on April 17, 2025, immediately draws attention to its title, derived from the Greek word meaning to set apart, consecrate, or make holy, signaling the profound spiritual ground the song intends to cover. This title itself serves as the thematic anchor, pointing to the biblical imperative and divine work of sanctification, a central concept woven throughout Scripture from the Levitical call to be holy because God is holy (Leviticus 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16) to the New Testament understanding of believers being made holy in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:2, 1 Corinthians 6:11) and the ongoing process of being transformed by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:23). The song’s musical landscape complements this deep theme; it unfolds with an atmosphere that feels both reverent and empowering, perhaps a sonic representation of stepping into a state of set-apartness, moving from the common to the sacred. Through its melody and instrumentation, "Hagiazo" seems to create a space for reflection on what it truly means to be consecrated to God, exploring the dual reality of already being made holy in Christ by His sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10) and the continuous journey of living out that holiness in practical obedience and surrender, presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). It’s more than just a declaration; the song feels like an invitation to yield deeper, to allow the purifying fire of God to work within, aligning our lives with His divine nature and purpose, acknowledging that this work is ultimately His (Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 12:10), but it calls for our participation in yielding to the Spirit’s guidance (Galatians 5:16). "Hagiazo" serves as a powerful reminder of our identity and calling in Christ – not just cleansed, but set apart for divine use, echoing the prayer of Jesus in John 17:17, "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth." The song compels a response, stirring a desire to live lives that are increasingly dedicated and distinct for God's glory, a fragrant offering in a world that desperately needs to see His holiness lived out through His people.
