For the many whose lives have been touched, even terribly damaged by the hurricanes in Houston and Florida, recovery is hard. Sometimes it feels impossible.
Roses in the Alley wants to play a small part in giving you and them hope. If you know someone who is hurting from the aftermath of the storms, please come to our bandcamp site and download this free song recorded by one of our founders 15 years ago . Just place “0” in the price.
If it brings you peace, please forward the link to your friends who may need hope as well.
Any donations that you might make on the site by entering any number but 0 over the next few days will be 100% donated to the recovery effort, and RitA will add to the fund as well.
Here are the lyrics below:
Lord, Send Out Your Spirit
You gather the rain
In far reaches of the heavens
You take wild rivers to tame
As they wander through the mountains
All the world and its seed
Taste the waters You created
And in Your Spirit they breathe
They bring forth Your celebration
Refrain: Lord, send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the earth
Lord, send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the earth
On the wings of the wind
In the glancing tongues of fire
Each fearful heart You enflame
With your burning, unceasing desire
Send down, send down Your Spirit on us
Send down, send down Your Spirit on us
You call each one by their name
Your sons and Your daughters
We hear Your call to proclaim
Your mercy and Your power
Rain down, rain down Your Spirit on us… and renew the face of the earth

May this be a more graced set of images than the ones that we experienced in the storms. Please listen in and pass it along. Hopefully we at RitA can make just a little difference.
