Clown 1 (takes Jesus heart and puts it in her heart)
Come into my heart Dear Jesus, Dear Jesus
Come into my heart Dear Jesus, Today

(shows new joy)
Clown 3 (speaks)
Each of us has a hole in our heart that only Jesus can fill.
Nothing else will fit there.
Until we ask Jesus to fill it, we'll never be really happy.

Clown 2 (speaks)
What about me? I think I have a hole in my heart too.
Will Jesus fill my hole too?
Clown 3 (speaks)
Yes, of course He will
All you have to do is ask
Jesus loves you (points to clowns)
And you (pointing to children) and you and every one of us
Let's sing it together,

All:
There's a hole in my heart dear Jesus, dear Jesus
There's a hole in my heart dear Jesus, a hole
Only You can fill it dear Jesus, dear Jesus
Only You can fill it dear Jesus, this hole
Come into my heart, dear Jesus, dear Jesus
Come into my heart, dear, Jesus today
I love you Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus
I love you Lord Jesus, I love you my Lord
