I
Though separated by countless seas and mountains,
we are one people, with no boundaries between us,
with different colored skin and speaking different tongues.
Because Almighty God’s words call to us,
we are raised up before God’s throne.
There is the elderly, with hair all white,
and the young, bright and radiant.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder,
we walk on together through wind and rain, encouraging each other in adversity.
With one mind we fulfill our duty.
Our hearts are connected, we become confidants in life.
God’s love brings us closer together.

God’s words are the wellspring of the living water.
Enjoying God’s words, our hearts are filled with sweetness.
The chastisement of His words, the judgment of His words,
purify our corrupt dispositions.
Only by being pruned and dealt with do we have a human likeness.
In negativity and weakness, we support each other.
We are together in adversity.
Standing witness, we defeat Satan.
We escape the darkness and live in the light.
Loyal and obedient, we are God’s glory made manifest.
We know God’s righteousness and beauty.
We experience the innumerable ways in which God loves us.
Snuggled in the bosom of God, our lives on earth are as in heaven.
Only with God there is love, only with love there is family.
All who love God are one family.
We come close together in God’s love.
God’s words are with us as we grow.
Living in the beautiful kingdom,
we worship Almighty God forever and ever.
La la la … La la la … La la la …
La la la … La la la … La la la …
Only with God there is love, only with love there is family.
All who love God are one family.
We come close together in God’s love.
God’s words are with us as we grow.
Living in the beautiful kingdom,
we worship Almighty God forever and ever,
we worship Almighty God forever and ever,
we worship Almighty God forever and ever.
