Iesu me ke Kanaka Waiwai COVER

This is a song that has a LOT of meaning to me and I LOVE it.

It is written and sung in Hawai'ian about the story of the Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17-22) who asked Jesus what he had to do to get eternal life. Our young hula dancer hasn't performed in five years, but she does an AWESOME job :) Here are the words (courtesy of - http://www.geocities.com/dhc2020/h-kanakawaiwai.htm)

Ma ke alahele `o Iesû

I hâlâwai aku ai

Me ke kanaka
`ôpio hanohano

Kaulana i ka waiwai

Pane mai e ka `ôpio

`E ku`u Haku maika`i

He aha ho`i ka`u e hana aku ai

I loa`a e ke ola mau?
CH:
`E hâ`awi, e hâ`awi lilo
I kou mau waiwai
Huli a hahai mai ia`u
I loa`a e ke ola mau ia `oe

Let me walk through paradise with you, Lord
Take my hand and lead me there
All my Earthly treasures Ill gladly give
Teach me how to love and how to share
Greed and lust and vanity were mine, Lord
till I found your love divine
Now on my knees I pray I can find a way
Let me walk through paradise with you

BIG THANK YOU'S to:

Roi on bass guitar
Quique on guitar
James on lead guitar
Andrew on ukulele
Jackie and Jaylene on vocals

This was filmed during our "Friday Night Lights" vespers service at the Fresno Spanish SDA Church.
