Once you stood like a Totara tree Gently swaying in the breeze I hear the whispers in the air And I cry I feel my Tipuna everywhere Even next to me Strong and tall Proud and free But still I cry Strong and tall Proud and free And still I cry We knew one day that noble tree would fall But now a new one stands Strong and tall Proud and free But still I cry Strong and tall Proud and free And still I cry Repeat V3 & V1

Kia ora Mike I was there with you and have so often thought of, and missed you all. 1998 (i think) If this is you, there was also Peter, Boing, Graham, ... After one of our groups i was hugging my face to the wall and it was you that put your hand on my shoulder. No matter what, we were all meant to be there. Being with you all and the kuia Pukekawa Wehi taught me so much ... i have never seen or heard of another program like the taha Màori Program at Hamner Springs. I still have photos of that time including the one where we are all together under the tree with our tuakana. Mauri ora if this is you Mauri ora if this is not. Ko Tùhoe me Nati Kahununu me Nati Manjapoto me Nàti Raukawa me Muaùpoko na iwi Ko Aotearoa te pà harakeke Ko Tània taku ingoa Tihei Mauri ora e hoa

I regret losing my tape of Shelter from years ago. I played it non-stop, absolutely loved it! Really ministered to me, so great to discover it now, especially in these times that are only going to get more evil. Awsum talent. I would dearly love to have access to the whole album, but just being able to listen to this and Shelter is the next best thing 🙏

Arohanau, sorry for that earlier comment. I meant I had the TAPE, not CD. Just loved all the songs. 🙏👍

Wow, thank you SO much for uploading this!! Had the CD back in the 80's, and boy was this a real blessing to me at a time when I desperately needed the Lord. Love your voice Stephen and your obvious faith. I also loved the song about the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. So happy to find this, as the CD is long gone sadly.
