Nā Hīmeni Kalikiano is a monthly offering of mele and pule led by nā kahu of Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha. These familiar songs and heartfelt prayers help us grow our relationship with Ke Akua, grounding our daily lives in love, service and spiritual discipline.
This classic kula Sabati (Sunday school) hīmeni, translated into Hawaiian by Makua Lāiana (Father Lorenzo Lyons), reminds our keiki and all of us that He is the King of the universe and Almighty Creator God who cares for all creatures big and small from the birds in the sky, the flowers in the fields, and most certainly, you and me. He can provide for our every need and protect us from the dark forces of this world if we are faithful to trust and follow Him.
E nānā aku i nā manu o ka lewa; ʻaʻole lākou e lūlū hua, ʻaʻole hoʻi e ʻoki ʻai, ʻaʻole nō hoʻi e hoʻāhu aʻe i loko o nā hale papaʻa; a ua hānai ko ʻoukou Makua o ka lani iā lākou. ʻAʻole anei e ʻoi aku ko ʻoukou maikaʻi i ko lākou? ʻO wai lā ka mea o ʻoukou e hiki ma ka manaʻo nui ʻana ke hoʻolōʻihi aku i kona kiʻekiʻe i hoʻokahi haʻilima?
Mataio 6:26-27
Prayer for provision and protection
E ke Akua Manaloa, e hilinaʻi nō au i Kou aloha a me Kou lokomaikaʻi.
Almighty God, I trust in Your grace and loving-kindness.
Nāu e kiaʻi, e mālama a e hoʻolako mai i nā pono a pau e hoʻomāhuahua mai ai i ke ola.
May You protect and provide abundantly for my every need.
Ma ka inoa o Iesū Kristo ʻāmene.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
