"Come", and "Faka'ofa Kiate Au" - Leslie Fatai

Leslie Fatai Nau came to Mormon Channel Studio to share a message that has shaped her life: our joy in life can be limitless if we draw near to Jesus Christ.
In her original song “Come,” Leslie sings the words spoken by Abinadi to King Noah as he testified of Jesus and the importance of coming unto Him for peace, love, and direction. Born with just five fingers, Leslie experienced that love when she turned to the Savior in times of pain.
“It was natural for me to ask why,” she says, “Why did I have only these five fingers when everyone got ten? But coming unto Christ has helped me understand who I am as a daughter of God. I’m so grateful that I was able to learn that and also feel of my worth-that I am loved, that I am worth something.”
Leslie also performs her favorite hymn from the Tongan hymn book, Faka’ofa Kiate Au, which translated means “He who was crucified.”
What about Leslie’s testimony and performances inspires you most?

I would that ye should understand that God himself has come redeemed us. Dwelling among us the son of God subjecting himself to the will of the Father. ​ (Bridge) Were it not for the redemption he made for us that we'll be saved. ​ (Chorus) Come heed. Come love. Come to Jesus Christ. Come willingly to eternal life. Come feast upon the word of God. Just trust in Him and come. ​ For salvation cometh to the world through the Lord, but we must heed his word. He has broken the bands of death, filled with compassion towards his children.

[@TadleeWelty]

Sings and plays like an angel. Sings with her heart.

Sīsū e ne Ke ongosia he mamafa 'emau hia, Ne 'ikai te ke hanu pe 'i ai ka ke 'ofa he'emau mate. ​ 'Oku tangi hoku lotó, Tafe ai 'a e vai mo e toto Lau na'e fakamamahi'i, Ho tauta'a 'i Ketisemaní. ​ Tau tu'u hake mu'a 'o 'alu kia Sīsū he funga 'akau, Ne pekia 'i ai 'a e Hau ko e fai ho tau fakatau. Sīsū e ne Ke ongosia he mamafa 'emau hia, Ne 'ikai te ke hanu pe 'i ai ka ke 'ofa he'emau mate.

[@tevitatalanoa9880]

You have a God gifted talent!! Thank you for sharing that blessing. As a Tongan, when u sang the second song, it brought me to tears, the song was when the Saviour was led towards his cruxifiction, not once did he complain.. But he freely gave up his life. Just beautiful!!

[@veisiniakivalu8351]

Thank you for your testimony, one of my favorite hymns and I truly felt the power of your hymn-sung prayer, Ofa Atu and Thank you!

[@hematael]

When music and the spirit are fused, there is an undeniable feeling. The sound is incredible sis, but the feeling resonates with my soul and the souls of many others! Thank you for sharing your testimony through music.

[@folautribe]

Thank you so much Sister Fatai for sharing your talent! The way you sing and play the piano makes me feel lazy. I’m so grateful for your testimony of the our Lord and Savior that helps uplift my testimony!!!

[@shemevans5472]

I listened to this song and it instantly uplifted me. Life has taken me to places so low that I’ve lost everything worthwhile. The hope I have is that coming to Jesus I can lift myself (with his help) to a place of love and salvation. Thank you for sharing this song. It uplifted my soul...

[@anafolau2684]

This is one of the best singers I have ever heard in Utah. She sings so effortlessly. Keep up the good work!

[@bluepearl7317]

[@islandboiskreation]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Such beautiful music and such an amazing voice. As a descendent of Pita Vi, I love that hymn you sang. It brings so many good memories of my great-grandfather Inoke Vi who passed away in 2014. Not a day passes by that I don’t miss him ❤️

After listening to the General Conference on Saturday, April 2018, I listened to his beautiful voice, in a song so beautiful, that it seemed to me to be in Heaven, in the Presence of the Father.

[@pitatafisi6546]
