Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
(The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness)
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

It's all about the Father
Of this song I sing
I've never known another thing
Like this joy He brings

It's all about the Father
Of this song I sing
Yes sing praise to the
Almighty One
The ever-living King

Forged from the fire
And pulled from the sea
Came these eight islands
Now ruled by one king

Then Opukaha'ia
A native son
Went on a voyage
And found a vision

Although he slipped away
Into glory
This could not stop
His band of missionaries

As their journey
To the islands began
They changed
The Kapu system

Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua
Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua

Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

The high priests they had a vision
That out of many gods
There was (Now) just one
So when the missionaries had arrived
They told them about Jesus Christ

Like royalty the missionaries
Were received
And the Queen
Was the first to believe
The 3rd Kamehameha's declaration
This would be the greatest Christian nation

Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua
Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua

It's all about the Father
Of this song I sing
I've never known another thing
Like this joy He brings

It's all about the Father
Of this song I sing
Yes sing praise to the Almighty One
The ever-living King

Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono

What has happened
And what have we become
Have we forgotten
Who is true aloha

Go back into the roots
Of how we began
Aloha Ke Akua

It's 'bout the father
There is no other
Listen to Kapena
And Christafari tell ya
It's 'bout the father
There is no other
Jesus my Savior
God is true aloha

Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua
Aloha ke Akua, aloha ke Akua
