Heart felt describes the way I've approached songwritng ever since I first started writing lyrics in 1977. Crafting thought provoking lyrics then combining them with exciting music to deliver the songs message has always been the goal of every songwriter, myself included.

Story behind the song
I wrote the lyrics about 12 years before Steve Israel put the music to them and recorded it in 2000. I remember struggling with the the word sweet to describe the love of Christ until God gave me peace over it.
Lyrics
“Sacred Supper” Vs.1- And He broke the bread of Heaven, for the masses. Then He poured the holy wine out, to them all. And for all who came and ate, of the Fathers sacred supper, He gave the life that only Heaven had to give. Vs.2- Yet in broken-ness His love found full expression. And when emptied out His cup was then refilled. Now He bids for all to come, and partake His sacred supper, For in His love he’s done what none of us could do. Br.- So trade your broken heart for bread upon His table. And let Him fill your empty life with His sweet love. Then take up His invitation, and partake His sacred supper, To gain the life that only death to self can yield. Ch.- Sacred supper means to die to who you are, and to leave behind the life that you’ve designed, To drink His blood, to taste His flesh, to walk with Him in death, Then to live the life that only He can give. Russell J. Adams 9-88, Lyrics Steve Israel, 2000, Music/Recording
