FIRE IN OUR HEARTS<br />

COMMUNICATE!<br />

Dear broken-hearted ones, y<strong>our</strong> face is full of hurt,<br />

Feel<strong>in</strong>gs of agony; we long to share y<strong>our</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Let <strong>our</strong> eyes run with tears,<br />

Let <strong>our</strong> <strong>hearts</strong> flow with love;<br />

homeless or <strong>in</strong> prison gathered on stage. As they sang and<br />

swayed together, the video-camera zoomed <strong>in</strong> on Paul from<br />
