The Prayer Ho’okena with Malia Gibson

 

 

The days get busy, the hours seem pressing as they pass me by, soon I fall ill from stress, then a call arrives during the evening,

which makes everything else seem miner.  Besides taking care of my mother-in-law with shingles, and a stress husband as well, even the little things were bumming me out.

I had tried to learn my family Hawaiian language again but I found it harder, and when most of the singers speak the songs on the cd the words

pass my ears to fast, I find myself saying next time, maybe I can do better next time. So! from just a thought I asked the angels to show me a Hawaiian Song Prayer.

The same day that  I was lead to this prayer song, my cousin had come to mind, little pictures of the younger year, not knowing my cousin had passed over the rainbow to a greater light, I will always believe he guided me to Ho’okena.

 

I hope you enjoy it as I do, and I will always believe in simple things as asking an Angel for help,  Jerry Anthony Plevney 7.10.66  –  6.9.14.

The Prayer
Ho’okena with Maila Gibson

I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise, in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer, as we go our way
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

I lama no makou, I pray we’ll find your light
E pa’a poli ai, and hold it in our hearts
Ke lipo mai ka po, when stars go out each night
I ‘ike ‘ia ‘oe (that you may be seen)
I pule na makou, let this be our prayer
Ke malu mai ka la, when shadows fill our day
Alaka’i mai (Offer us guidance)
E paulele e (that we may have faith)
I ka palekana mau (in safety that is everlasting)

Kahi pau o ka ‘eha a kaumaha (A place where pain and sorrow are no more)
A lana ka mana’o o kanaka (and hope is restored to the heart of man)
‘Upu mau a’e (We shall always remember)
Ka Makua Lani (the heavenly father)
Huli mau ia ‘oe (and always turn to you)
I ka lani la (reaching to heaven above)

Li olu iho no, we ask that life be kind
O walu o malu mai, and watch us from above
A pili pu’u wai, we hope each soul will find
Me ke aloha e, another soul to love

Let this be our prayer, let this be our prayer
Just like every child, just like every child
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
I ka malu ou (In your shadow)
E paulele ai (there we have faith)
I ka palekana mau (in safety everlasting)
