“Ek mein hum Ek hai” which means “In the One, we are one”.
By Jude Fernando, CFC India
The 45th Anniversary celebration of God’s unstoppable goodness has overflowed through the Leaders’ Conference echo sessions and Theme Weekend Retreats around the world. It has been a great joy to witness this weeklong celebration, with many participating in person while the global community stayed connected through live broadcasts and recorded sessions shared across social media.
The evangelization activities taking place in India, particularly in Chandigarh, have been especially inspiring to me as I live in another part of the country, more than 40 hours away by train. Having experienced God’s hand through the many songs I have been inspired to compose in Tamil, I was deeply moved by the CLP led by Bro. John Balgoa, Sis. Princess Joy, and their children. God brought us together in such a miraculous way that, even though I could not be physically present, distance was never a barrier to serving alongside them.
Seeing this God-sent family in Chandigarh and witnessing the Holy Spirit at work through them was truly an invitation for me to offer whatever I could and partner with them, even from afar. We are a people of dreams, aren’t we? We are called to participate in God’s great dream for the world, aren’t we?
God’s way of moving our hearts always fills us with wonder and stirs us to help bring His chosen people back to Him. The result of those stirrings in my heart became this offering—a song that the Lord graciously worked through and brought to life.
I first shared it with Bro. John and eagerly awaited his response. He appreciated it wholeheartedly and generously shared his encouragement. Later, I shared it with my children, who loved it so much that they surprised me with a better recording setup, which they ordered online to help improve the quality of my recordings.
May God continue to use each one of us in wonderful ways to bring the whole world back to Him. May God be praised.
Lyrics in English
In the One we all are one
One our Family our own
One in mind and one in heart
Together all our life is one
Oceania, Asia
Africa and Europa
America Australia
In all the earth we all are one
The Lord our God is only one
And Jesus Christ his only son
With the Holy Spirit one
In the One we all are one
One our color one our race
One our life so full of grace
One our Faith around the world
One our Hope, it sways unfurled
Lyrics in Hindi
एक में हम एक है
एक परिवार है
एक मन और एक दिल
जीवन एक हमारा है
ओशिनिया आशिया
अफ्रीका और यूरोपा
अमेरिका ऑस्ट्रेलिया
सभी जगह हम एक है
ईश्वर तो वह एक है
उनके पुत्र यीशु है
पवित्र आत्मा एक है
एक में हम एक है
पहचान हमारी एक है।
हमारा जीवन एक है।
विश्वास हमारा एक है
हमारा लक्ष्य भी एक है
