“I had a life-changing experience in Detroit with Habitat For Humanity,” Colman said. “Seeing 31 houses built in a week was incredible. I witnessed the sacrifice of the staff and volunteers and the immense gratitude of the new home owners, and it was truly overwhelming.”
Paul didn't just hammer nails and paint walls during the week, he also performed for the 2,500 staff members and volunteers, as well as the 31 new homeowners during closing ceremonies on Friday, June 24. He performed music from his new release, Let It Go as well as “My Heart is Home,” which he wrote specifically for Habitat For Humanity.

You've shown me
Shown me love is real
Through your hands, wood and steel
Love is what you built
You've shown me
A love that never fails
Through the tears, sweat and nails
Today the world will see
My heart is home
“I spent two days with a family who had been ripped apart by the breakdown of a marriage and personal tragedy. To see Habitat assist in the redemption of this family is something I will never forget,” Paul said.
Colman released his first solo album in seven years, Let It Go, in March, and recently finished the 30-city "All God's Children" tour featuring Tree 63 and Building 429. He is currently touring Europe and performing at festivals here in the states this summer, including Spirit West Coast and Soulfest.
