Thank you for the beautiful prayer song “Make Us One.” I appreciate how you have made it available in multiple keys and platforms—I use the MuseScore version for my electronic instrument and also sing it.

I have translated the song into Haitian Creole and used it during Communion, and I see it fitting for weddings, funerals, and church services focused on unity. The unity it expresses reflects a desire for hearts to be shaped by the Holy Spirit, for true oneness with God is rooted in obedience to Him.

Thank you for sharing this gift and for blessing so many through your music.

With gratitude,
Joseph Victorin

I just conducted a women’s SSA version of this beautiful song. The audience was so touched that some were weeping. Thank you Sally Deford for writing this heart-warming song and thanks to God for the inspiring scriptures that guided its creation.

Or is there a real story behind it?

Google tells me this means, “I think it’s a beautiful song and I’m going to sing it in church on Sunday, in preparation for my baptism” in Dutch. Thank you Agnes, and congratulations on your baptism!

I pulled out my original score from the 90s and saw scriptural references penciled in:
Ezekiel 11:19
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
D&C 38:27
Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.
2 Nephi 1:22
And now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you, that I might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things, that ye may not come down into captivity;

And if so, could I get that version sent to me? We’re singing this for a special Relief Society lesson coming up in March but would love to start practicing this Sunday, the 26th…I know it’s soon

Can you transpose this piece “Make Us One” down 3 half steps for SSA?”
