We Are One (In Jesus, All Of Us Are One)

This is a song about unity in Jesus.  It appears to be based on Ephesians 2:14.

It was written by South African folk musician and lay Franciscan, Sebastian Temple, and was included on the recording "Sing People of God" released by Franciscian Communications in the USA in 1967 (ref).

It was included in the Nigerian Catholic Hymn Book, but has not been located in any other hymn books.

No sources of sheet music  have been found,  The set of guitar chords provided below are one person's interpretation, but seem likely given the tune in the video.  They suggest that the song is in the key of Em.
