Whakaaria Mai (How Great Thou Art), by Stan Walker and Friends
Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō
Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Rā roto i te pō
He was wise enough to know that he had done wrong. Wise enough to know that God was upset with him, and that the Holy Spirit was convicting him of his wrong desires. But he wasn't mature enough to know what to do. His constant repenting for his wrong wasn't changing his desire to stop his actions.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your hearts And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone.
The lawyers' neighbour was not the dying man at the side of the road. His neighbour was the one who showed him mercy.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.
Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need from you
I see You hanging there, nailed to a splintered wooden beam, Drinking pain and sorrow, breathing agony.
There are moments in your life where you hear a song, and it strikes a chord (pun intended) in your soul.
This wretched man stands here today Encumbered by his sinful way Has built his life on shifting sand Oh who will save this wretched man
