- It's been a year to the day that I lost my beautiful second mom, Audrey Phillips, to cancer. This video is not only a tribute to honor her legacy, but to also uplift anyone facing a similar situation.
Love you, Audrey, miss you so much...

Who is here during Covid 19.. blessed
Yes sister ! Amen to that . Our God still reigns
Still here
Still right here 😊
Keep breathing God's presence x
Still here💙🙏🏽
Not one Maori can hold back tears when this song is being sung. We automatically get taken back to our past loved ones being carried out in a casket. 😭
So true.
😭😭💕
Tautoko that. 🥺😔😭😭❤
no Maori, and no such cultural conotations for me, but this singing touches some common human string in me too...something like gospel. Not many europeans would sing like this anyway...
Not a Maori by any stretch of imagination, and I can't understand a word, but it's so touching I'm still crying... Such a beautiful tribute, a beautiful song and voices!
My mom surrendered to cancer after a 30 year battle... and went home to be with The LORD in 1992. Her name was Audrey. Thank you for this beautiful song.
😭😭😭😔😖
T_T Ataahua i am sorry for all the losses of the loved ones
Sorry for your loss 😪💕
may she rest in peace.
God bless ur mum...stay strong💪 .....👍👍👍
They are amazing! Stan Walker is awesome
Oct 2023 - Still playing this Heavenly Master-piece. Stan and Vince, 2 of NZ's most beloved Taonga's/Treasure's. I'm Samoan🇼🇸 but I have a deep love for the Maori culture. Dear Heavenly Father... if my soul-mate ain't Maori Wahine, just let me be single forever 😂🌹🇳🇿🇼🇸
Plenty Māori wahine in the 275 uso😂
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
… Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Beautiful, all of you.
Is it just me or is it that everyone in New Zealand and Australia knows how to sing period?
NZ yes. Australia.......yeah some.
ummmmm if my neighbours at 2am are anything to go by..........then no lol
Tasha Tash it’s true. Filipinos, Kiwis and black people blow! Not all but very high numbers can sing.
Yea I’m nz & oz’s best in the shower 😂🤣but that was lit 🔥
@Tasha you forgot to mention Pacific Islanders!
Such a beautiful rendition of that beautiful hymn "How great thou Art " ! How I love my Savior
My daddy got his Angel wings in Heaven !! after a long battle with Prostrate Cancer !! He served his Lord and Saviour all his life !! and such a wonderful reception He must have felt when he finally met His Heavenly Father Jesus and his mammy who died when he was 10 yrs old
I loved my daddy more that any descriptive word I could write on this page He was my everything
I cried so hard when he died !! I was so broken He was my everything !! He heard my cry and came back from another 20 mins ! Then went to be with his Lord and Saviour I can’t wait to see him again also my mummy who is now dementia free !!
God will keep them safe till I see them all again ! Thanks so much for this beautiful rendition of "How great thou Art " ! I will play it many times Hugs many Hugs I send to you all from N.ireland
Anyone here November 2019? 😁

LMAO well I goofed up big time then cause I've been saying that since I was a kid.
don't worry, there's plenty more that do too
Not gonna lie, I've probably contributed around a thousand of the views. Amazing tribute from a beautiful whanau!
it was all goods then the end part killed it....it was a scream more than sining it...sad....i always dred that part....
@@shonapairama8761 yeah I agree , Angel Tupai don't ever do that again
Me too! A great tribute to a beloved mother; but the blessing of this hymn sung in Maori has been such a massive blessing to my life & others.
I bless each one of U & yor whanau.
With much Aroha.
You know these guys are blessed with God given voices! No suprise with hearing a beautiful song sung by Samoans and Maori together! Voices of Polynesia or the South Pacific
Amen!
This version still gives me chicken skin (goosebumps) six years later. Great rendition ♥️
lol heihei skin (Chicken - Heihei in Māori)
The last girl gives me the chills!!! wow
ummmm. when you guys sang this song, and made this video, i don't think you knew the impact it would make on some of the people who watched it. your rendition/version of this song is so beautiful...from the family aspect, to the voices, to the harmonization, to the inflection...that it can easily bring tears to one's eyes. it really was a gift hearing/experiencing this video. ) =)
+ross mar wow
ross mar kids ii
agreed!
A. GIRL was that you that started the first verse?
I love it when people admire my people's voices. Unfortunately, I sound like a dying animal.
This is soooo BEAUTIFUL!! What a joyful sound unto the LORD!!! 🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼
Aloha from a Hawai'i, we love this rendition and it always moves us and touches our hearts. Beautifully done Ohana. Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks be to God!
I wish they sang for christchurch victims, they need this right now, New Zealand has a heavy heart at the moment. RIP 🥀
John Mayer did a rendition of it during his concert two days ago.
Looks up teeks he did it for the Christchurch victims

@@MarstaJNZ I fell in love with the voices .
My goodness ! This is like getting you to heaven kinda performance ! °0° i wish i could have been there
I sometimes go to sleep listening to it
2020 lol
Hearing this song growing up at the marae, during the funerals and hearing the nannies wail. Ahhhh brings tears to my eyes and ache in my heart every time I hear this song
Me too so many memories sad but treasured
it does it them ol heartstrings,
Wow. Audrey would have been so blessed to hear such an outpouring of love and passion.
Tears every time
My dearest Uncle just passed yesterday. I'm here listening to this as due to Covid I can't be in New Zealand for his tangi (funeral). This will be sung first in Maori and then English as he is laid to rest, no doubt. Rest easy my sweet Uncle xxxx
I listen to this Version often. So Glad I accidentally came acrossed it! What a Blessing! Much Love
Girl in the black dress killed it at the end! WOW! So beautiful!!
I was 12 years old when I first watched this. 10 years later still get the feeling I got when I first watched it 💯 Beautiful Vocals
Them fortunate harmonies was 🔥🔥
My grandmother was fighting breast cancer and she eventually won. Years down the line the fight came back and it was so ugggghh.... it was so much pain for her. Her might was still oh so strong. The night of her passing she called to me but I had told her I had things to do. I went to sleep and all I could hear is my mother calling out for my grandmother. All she wanted was a hug from me. Uggggh ma I love and miss you... your home now and I couldn’t be more happy for you Aulelei. I’ll see you when I see you ma!💙 stay strong to all those in the war against cancer. We aren’t promised tomorrow, but we are promised Heavenly Fathers love. Aloha and Alofa to all💕🤙🏽
This was sung at my father in laws funeral too. Growing up as a kid in church there was always something about this song that made me listen. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end like no hillsong EVER will.
this is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I've ever heard.
Yeah
o...m....g... I'm not a Maori.. but, I too could not hold back the tears. This is absolutely glorious, and so humbling to bear witness not only to the love of your lost one, but your collective love of God.. What a privilege it has been tonight to be able to hear this!
Having Pacific islander blood makes my heart just grin from ear to ear hearing this
Beautiful, beautiful beautiful both my mother and father lost to cancer, and this my favourite hymn too. We sang this for them. Love from UK.
Rest in Power, Audrey Phillips. Stunningly beautiful performance. Mahalo and blessings from Kauai.
If you want to understand the history of Stan Walkers family with cancer- watch Stan walkers story. It’s amazing what this family has been through.
Bless you all and thank you for such an uplifting song 🙏🏻❤️
The guy with the hat behind the guy with the guitar I LOOOOOOVE HIS VOICE
When there are God blessed singers like this in the world, nobody needs radio . I come to TH-cam for God given talent. I love this
Love n respect from Mandurah, Perth West Aussie

hardout!
Ah i came here from England in 1986 to have a look around and this video highlights precisely why i never left! Moved to tears at the beauty and emotion of this sound that is uniquely honest, uniquely Aotearoa and as fine a piece of gospel as anything worldwide! So sorry you lost Audrey but so thankful and joyful to hear this..
Brutha's & sister's Woaaa my heart bends & weeps at the sound of the joy of this hymn. Praise be to GOD.
Thank U all for sharing. Arohanui
I lost my wonderful daughter 39y9m old to cancer 13/04/22 and this gave me some closure - thank you
Chills. Literal chills.
This is my favorite hymn, and this rendition...goosebumps and tears! Wow, how great Thou art!

Still listening to this, one of my fav renditions 😇
These singers that sacrificed their time, have a major healing quality. I think it’s not only angelic, but loving and complete.
As I face my own battle with cancer and losing my mum to cancer, this gives me strength and hope
Pam Parker sending your and your family prayers ❤️ keep hope in your heart x
Phoenix Davis-Joseph thank you Phoenix ❤️
its good to see young people singing for the lord..God bless u all
I keep coming back to this video. I’m not even a Christian, but there’s something special about this song and the way it’s performed in this video. ❤️
Wow! I'm crying again. It's been a while since Audrey passed but this video still reduces me to sobbing and tears every time I see it. It is so beautiful and emotional. One, because of the powerful singing by some extremely gifted and talented people and two, because I knew Audrey and her family well back in the day in Christchurch, and that photo of her at the end of the video overwhelms me with emotion. Audrey played basketball for Minties and I played for a different club, Halswell and we struck up a friendship on and off the court. I have photos of her and her whanau. Audrey was a beautiful wahine and is still remembered with love by the basketball community in Christchurch. RIP Audrey.
So proud to b a Maori an one of my favorite hyms aswell beautiful
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
A glorious rendition, sung as if they meant every word! Have had this on repeat since I found it earlier today. Thank you! May the truth of it continue to reach many hearts ♥️
“Show Your Cross to me,
Let it shine there in the darkness.
To there I will be looking in life, in death
let me rest in Thee” 😍
Amazing voices!! Jesus gave these gifts to you all! Thank you Jesus! Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us!😇🙏🙏
I've listened to this song so many times...To God be all the Glory
WOW.... You guys are amazing and have really just blessed my soul!!! This is my 99 year old grandmothers favorite song! She turns 100 on March 29 of this year.......
+MizPosh wish i had read this earlier please wish your grandmother a happy 100 from me love Angel xxxx
+Angel Tairua Awwee, thanks Angel. My family celebrated my grandmother's birthday at the Memory care home she was in. My cousin sang How great thou art and she chimed in an sang with her. It was a phenomenal day! More so because we knew she was transitioning. She passed exactly 2 weeks from her 100th birthday! Thank you for sharing this amazing amazing video and moment in your life! Blessings to you all!
MizPosh ur grandmother birthday is a day after my birthday
This exact song has one heck of a strong punch with both the Maori and English version. This is what talent really is.
A wonderful tribute to Audrey Phillips and God. Touching and filled with love.
Watching this in 2019 again!!! Mr Zooyork did that!!!!!
Let me a get a thumbs up for the people here in 2020. 🤙🏽🤙🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I lost my mom this mother's day she was my example of faith. Cancer can't hold her anymore her joy is complete in Jesus
This is both of my grandmothers' favorite song...one past away last year, and her funeral was on my birthday which is tomorrow...the other had an exploritory surgery done on her brain roughly 10 years ago now....they gave her limited time, and its been almost 10 years. When i lose her, ill lose everything. That woman is my life but it caused her to have a stroke and be full paralyzed on the right side..her speech is still only MAYBE 10% of what it was. I left church several years ago because i gave up on a LOT. I was angry. I was hurt. I was devastated. Id lost my best friend..the woman who raised me for a huge chunk of my childhood. Thank you for letting me be able to breathe through the rough time of always having the thought of the possibility that i could wake up one day to her being called home. Very much so needed. Love you all..god bless
This is one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard
This is the most amazing and best How Great Thou Art out there.
This video means so much to me. Just a month ago, my family received some heartbreaking news that my mom has Neuroendocrine cancer and that it is in a Terminal stage. She was told that she should get her affairs in order and that in their professional medical opinion she has 3 to 6 months. 2 of the Docs said afterward, that despite their medical opinion , God is the Only one who can make that decision and that we must not waver in our faith in Him. Such a blessing to have docs that believe that and encourage us to have faith. This just hit my heart in such a beautiful way. I felt the spirit very strongly.
i just cried hear they sing with full of heart.
How great thou art.
Amen
That made my hair stand God bless you all.
I've been watching this for like 2 years and am ALWAYS blown away. Absolutely stunning version of a beautiful hymn.
RIP Audrey xx
im indigenous Australian and i dont know the words are exactly. But i feel every chord. Wow. Thank you for sharing. xo
Much love from indigenous NZ
I’m speechless, brought me to tears 🥲🙏🏽
I don't think I can even begin to describe how much you all just touched me. I am literally in tears. Thank you so much for sharing this. You blessed me today and I didn't even know I needed to hear this!
So much soul I cant handle it! Too much soul to only listen to it once. On repeat
830 k Americans have passed. More than 5 Million. Peace love beautiful.

Nothing is more beautiful then listening to a song sung in Maori. Literally! Use definitely took us to church and back. Tino Ataahua. Perfect!
