A single-line rahau of honest empty-handedness: I have come to the holy to be lifted. The verses trace a healing: meeting them makes one clean and plants the Name; the old sickness of the heart lifts like a cured illness; steadiness replaces restless wandering, a home of peace; and the blessing spreads to whole families, freed from the pull of the passing world.
