Se A Ea Lenei Lalolagi. . .

Po o a fea ea e toe sau ai - When are you going to return
O lo'u Ali'i Iesu - My Lord Jesus
Afio mai mo a'u nei - Come for me here
Ta fia vaai atu - I want to see you

A ou mafaufau i le toe afio mai o le Mesia, ou te lē iloa pe ou te ola pea.  Aisea e faapenā so'u manatu?  E lē lava so'u faatuatua ile Atua?  Leai.  Pau lava, o le tele o tagata, o lo'o iai ni manatu 'ese'ese ma talitonuga e faailoa mai ai, le fe'ese'esea'iga ma le (tai foliga ea), o se tama'i vevesi pe a talanoaina lenei mataupu.  Ae ou te lē mautinoa pe ou te ola pea i lenei lalolagi; pe ou te oti muamua ona fa'atoā toe afio mai le Alii.  Atonu o se mea e lē tatau ona popole fua tagata i ai.  Ae e leai se mea o iai, pe a saga sauni pea ma fa'atali po o le ā le valaau e o'o mai ia te oe.

E o'o mai lo'u oti - My death will come
E lē mafai na galo - I will not forget
Le mafutaga lilo - The hidden relationship
Ma oe i so'o se aso - With you on any day

E te mafuta ma lou Atua i so'o se aso?  O lou lava mafutaga ma le Tamā o i le lagi, e lē o se mea e so'ona silafia e seisi.  E amata ma gata ia te oe ma lou talanoa, faasoa ma faatuatua i le Atua.  E leai se mea e te popole lava i ai.  O le mafutaga lilo o se mea e lē tau faailoa i nisi, e lē tau soona fa'aalia i le lalolagi.  Ae a oe?  E te fiafia e feiloai ma lou Alii?  Ua e sauni e talia so'o se fa'afitauli o le ā uia mai?  O ā nisi mafutaga lilo e le o silafia e nisi o lo'o e tauaveina?  Seia iloa pe a o'o mai le oti.

Iesu e lo'u Fa'aola - Jesus my Savious
Afio maia oe - You are welcome 
Se a ea lenei lalolagi - What of this earth
Ae ua leai se faamoemoe - As there is no hope

Ailoga e iai se faamoemoe i lenei lalolagi.  E tele ina sesē mea e naunau ai tagata.  E tu'u lava le latou faamamafaina o mea totino, o mea o le olaga nei, o mea e lē mautū.  E te tagi ea i lou Fa'aola e lavea'i mai ia te oe?  E te taliagofie tagata e lē tatau ona taliaina, ae galo ia oe le taua o Iesu i lou olaga.  A e lē paleni lou olaga ona o lou naunau i tafaoga, ma le fa'aputuputuga o le mauoa, ia e faitau lelei i le tala o le tamaloa mauoa, sa musu ona foa'i ma fa'asoa ana mea taugatā i tagata ese.  Sa manatu lava o ia, sa lava lona tausisi ma le usitai i tulafono, ae galo ia te ia le ola fesoasoani.  Sa sili lava ia te ia le olaga fa'aletino, ae e lē loloto pe moni lona fia auauna ia Iesu.  'Aua e te mana'o i le mea a lē lua te tuaoi - auā ailoga o se mea lelei e maua ai sou manuia po o sou nofoaga ile lagi.  



A ou vaai, vaai atu - When I see, I see that
Le goto a le la - The sun has set
Manatu ile ola nei - I think about about this life
Se mea a faigata - As such it is hard

O ā ni ou mafaufauga pe a e maimoa ile goto o le la?  E tepa ea ou manatu i taimi ua sola, i tagata ua lē toe mau i lenei lalolagi?  Ou te lē iloa po o ā ni ou lagona pe a e silasila i le goto o le la.  Pe e te manatua nisi foi afiafi sa e faasaga ma le la faapenā.  Ou te talitonu, e faigofie lava ona manatu i le ola nei, o se mea faigata.  Ae e lē faigofie ona maua ni mea e taua, mea e mana'omia lava e tagata, pe a e lē eli ma saili, ma ola punoua'i i ai.  Taumafai e saili ni auala e fa'afaigofie lou olaga.  E toatele lava o tatou e tauva ma nisi o tatou uso a tagata. Tu'u ia le loto ita e le isi i le isi, teu fo'i le loto leagai i lou ato pa'u, auā e leai lava se mea lelei e maua i le tau fa'aleaga o nisi sui, auā o tatou lava vaivaiga i le fia sili ma le fia tagata e fai ma ta'ita'iiga sesē. 

E o'o mai la'u oti - My death will come
E lē mafai na galo - It will be hard to forget
Le matufaga lilo - The hidden relationship
Ma oe i so'o se aso - With you on any day

E iai ni ou mafutaga lilo?  E a'oa'o mai le Tusi Paia ina ia tatou mafuta i le Atua e ala i talosaga, ma le faitauina o lana Afioga Paia ina ia fai ma ta'iala ma le faasino ala mo manuia o lo'o tatou sailia.  Ou te mafaufau i le taimi sa ou la'ititi.  O le olaga o se tagata Samoa, ia faamasani i le auai atu i fa'alavelave fa'aleaiga, fa'alenu'u ae maise o fa'alavelave i totonu o Ekalesia.  E tautalagia ma felafoa'i solo le fa'aupuga lea o le "galogatā".  I taimi o mafatiaga o aiga e ala i maliu, e te faalogo so'o i le fa'aupuga lea.  E iai ni mea e galogatā mo oe?  Ou te iloa o tagata e fai mai so'o e galogatā se mea, po o le galogatā o se tagata - e lē umi lava ae e galo mea sa fai mai ua galogatā.  O se tala e tautala so'o i ai tagata i taimi o maliu i le faiga o molimau.  O ā ni molimau e faia e tagata ola mo oe pe a mavae le ola nei?

Iesu e lo'u Fa'aola - Jesus my Saviour
Afio maia oe  - You are welcome
Se a ea lenei lalolagi - What of this earth
Ae ua leai se faamoemoe - As there is no hope

O lo'o feagai lava aiga ma uo ma maliu i lenei taimi.  O le isi uo, o le tamā o le aiga ua toesea.  O le isi uo, o le uso matua ua sola.  Toaga e mafuta ma aiga ma uo.  E lē iloa lava le itula po o le taimi e sui atoa le olaga ona o le maliu ma le oti.  O le pese lenei o se pese ou te fiafia e faalogologo i ai.  Auā a mou ese atu lē ua pele ia te oe, na'o Iesu e maua mai ai le filemu e lē maua i lenei lalolagi.  Ai o le manatu lea o fatupese mai lenei fa'aili, e faamanatu mai i le au fa'alogologo, ia tumau le finau i mea sili, ona o le finagalo lea o le Atua ina ia galue malosi mo Ia, ina ia tautua ma fa'amaoni i tiute ma tofi o lo'o fa'aavanoa mo oe.  Auā a tatou galogofie le fia malaga i le lagi ina ia tatou fa'atasi ma ē o lo'o muamua atu, se a ea lenei lalolagi. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...

You look so much better when you. . .  I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song?  I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation.  We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser.  I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you?  The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate.  I hope people get to know you and what you're about.  They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...
