Because We Are One: Disaster Relief Song
As we contemplate the horrors of Harvey, there will be a desire to express our spiritual and financial support for the victims. In this type of crisis our instinct is to respond “Because We Are One.” This Disaster Relief Song was composed originally for the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010, but it can be easily adapted for use for Harvey. The song consists of verses sung by a soloist with a simple congregational response. Below are the links for the lead sheet (lyrics, melody, chords), the piano vocal score, and YouTube video of a performance. If this speaks to you, feel free to use it gratis for spiritual or financial support of victims of this or any natural disaster.
