Upon the earth I came to life in the world God prepared. One rejoicing land of freedom I am chosen to build,
To reveal the Truth of God, His Purpose and His Will Sacrifice yourself and live all for His Desire, all for His Desire.
All Heaven sings a mighty song, inspiration divine, For a new Eden begins now, spread the message to all. Sacrifice yourself to build, our Lord's new world of life. Seek the land of freedom now, all for His Desire, all for His Desire.
We seek the new eternal base, blessed family of God, Long awaited by the Father, God of goodness above. Now proclaim the great new Truth, of kindness and good will. Pioneer new Heaven and earth all for His Desire, all for His Desire.
Within a day of bright new life, stand upholding the right; In the pure new life eternal raise the standard of good. Praise the Father of all good, our glorious true ideal; Build a whole new world of peace, we will build it now,We will build it now.
Words: Rev. Sun Myung Moon, 1947, Music: Duk Chin Kim
“Inspiration” in this song means the encouragement from God pushing Father with all of his might, urging him on as he walks his course of winning God’s words. Father expresses his intense desire to unravel the Word, even at the cost of his life. Father commands himself with a great sense of responsibility: he must be determined to overcome death and find God’s Words.
After Father uncovers the truth, voices of all spirit world ring joyously through the heavens at the news that the building of a new Eden will begin. The word “new” appears throughout this song. All of history until now has been under Satanic dominion. After 6000 years, history begins anew with the Lord of the Second Advent. Everything related to the Lord of the Second Advent is new. “A day of bright new life” refers to the Messiah’s life and the lives of those who follow him. Living a life of righteousness to obtain the purpose of goodness, should become the standard of the new Heavenly order.
We cannot fully understand how difficult it was to battle for God’s Word. Father cried out with tears and sweat “This must be Your will! But Satan can accuse, so You can’t answer me even though You want to, can You?” Mr. Eu shared Father’s words explaining the difficulty of discovering the Word: “Imagine a completely dark night, a night like the whole sky has been covered by a tent. And imagine a light like a pin-hole in the canvas. Unveiling the Principle is about as difficult as it would be to strike that light with only one attempt.”
