The song, "Pray for Korea" is written by Adahl, a Swedish CCM group. Although the song carries many Christian references, it talks about unity and peace in the Korean peninsula. The song talks about one nation divided into two, because of ideology. The conflict of ideology in 20th century was portrayed through the division in the two country. Consequently this turned into a conflict among men, who once called each other brothers in one nation.
I think we must not only wish for peace in Korea, but peace in the whole world. The God in the lyrics does not necessarily refer to the God of Christianity, but the God, who created this world. HWPL views that we are all from one divine being and we were not individually created by gods that we believe in. There is only one creator of this world.Let us think about the heart of the divine being, who created the world. What could have been His original purpose of creating the world? However, what would He think, when He looks at the world?
Instead of showing hate, we must show forgiveness and brotherhood. It does not only limit to the Korean peninsula, but to the whole world. Our effort to peace must continue until we see the whole world without borders. I hope that this new day will come soon through Chairman Man Hee Lee.
