Meaning & Inspiration
Make Us One is a prayer for unity in the church. The first verse declares oneness with the Father, the Spirit and the Son, and with sisters and brothers as one family by the blood. The chorus simply asks God to make His people one, and the second verse asks for one heart with heaven, one mind and one body, bound together forever so that Jesus is glorified.
The bridge confesses offenses, fear and pride, prays for hurt to be washed away, for healing of the land from wars and violence, and for the family to be restored. A spoken section prays for every wall to be torn down and division to end. The themes follow John 17:20-23, Ephesians 4:3-6, Psalm 133:1 and 2 Chronicles 7:14. The repeated plea and spoken prayer make it suitable for corporate prayer and unity gatherings.
