'Eiki Ko e 'Ofa 'A'au

'Eiki ko e 'ofa 'a'au ko e moana loloto
Pea ngalo hifo ki ai, 'eku ngaahi angahia
 
Pea kuo 'ufi'ufi 'eku kovi kotoa pē
'Eku kovi kotoa pē
 
'I he vaivai hoku jino pea vaivai mo e loto
'E poupou 'e he taulani hoku laumālie holi
 
Pea u ongo'i o 'ilo 'a e 'ofa ta'engata
'A e 'ofa ta'engata

God my love

God my love is the deep ocean
and my sins are lost under there
 
And all my bad are covered up
all my bad
 
When my body is weak and the inside is weak
this priest will support my wanting spirit
 
And I feel and know the everlasting love
the everlasting love

wow, I was wondering who posted a Tongan related translation :D or even Oceanic related. Glad to see another from the region here. And welcome to LT! Just a few pointers: It's best to use proper capitalization. Something like this in full caps isn't the norm here, and is usually frowned upon.

The Title is "The Love of God" not "God My Love"
