Aia Ke Kanaka

with optional Violoncello, Bass, and Pahu

Translation:

I know a great man,

A man whose deep love

Is like golden sunlight

That beams from above.

Its radiance and warmth

From within him do glow.

All the flow'rs turn their faces

And smile, for they know...

Refrain:

Shine your heav'nly light on me

O Jesus, I pray!

Show me how to be like you

Always and today.

This man is a leader,

A warm, gentle friend,

And with kindness his sheep

This good shepherd does tend.

He leads by example

His love shows the way.

Just as Jesus lived his life,

He lives his today!
