Peroveta: Prophet Songs

I grew up listening to prophet songs or what we Motuans call Peroveta in my childhood days. Back in those days around the early 90's to late 90's where many of our elderly people were still alive, in every village gathering you would hear them singing this lovely songs.

All I know about Peroveta is that it was taught to our ancestors by the early missionaries that came from the LMS and Pacific islands. I know this for sure because most of the songs that they sing are in either Cook Island or Rarontonga languages (I know a few). Here's what pngtips says about peroveta.
