Until We Meet Again (Kia Tūtaki Anō Rā)

This waiata was written during Covid lockdown in August 2021. It is based on the benediction in Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.

"Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu." (2 Koriniti 13:14).

The chorus was translated into Te Reo Māori by Rev. Kerry Davis of Te Mīhana Māori o Tāmaki Makaurau.

Kia tau te rangimārie

Te rangimārie o te Atua ki a tātou

Kia tūtaki anō rā

Kia tau te aroha

Te aroha o te Atua ki a tātou

Kia tūtaki anō rā
