Give Through Devotion (ft. Dan Sartorius on saxophone)
GIVE THROUGH DEVOTION by Mark A. Lajoie
US Copyright Claim #1-13556994611
Copyright # SRu1-569-167
We did this as a band live for the first & only time circa 2005. I took that live performance & used it as a scratch track, keeping some elements as a background. Found an old mic; I then recorded a series of vocals & guitars as you hear here. I used some of Tony's drums from another song. And now, a new friend in Christ, Dan Sartorius, has offered his considerable talent as a professional saxophone player!
VERSE
You know, people have been talkin’
I’ve heard them busy knockin’ you
They say that you have changed,
And they’re thinking, ‘He’s never gonna be the same. What a shame’
Now you have everything you wanted,
But you’re empty & you’re haunted
Doing what’s not right,
And you’re thinkin’ it’s never gonna be the same, the same, the same
CHORUS
Why don’t you
Give through devotion
Try not to live on emotion
Be like a ship on the ocean of Love, of Love
Why don’t you
Give through devotion
Try not to live on emotion
Be like a ship on the ocean of Love, of Love
VERSE
So now we see that you’ve met Jesus,
And you know much it pleases us,
To see how much you’ve changed,
And we’re thinking Your life could really be a flame! What a flame!
Now lots of people knock you,
But you say you’ll keep on walkin’
With a persevering Love
And you’re thinking the world will never be the same, the same
And you say….
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE
Why should you think just of yourself? When there’s a world of love for somebody else?
Jesus came so that the world could be one. Join to the Body of God’s Only Son. SING!
CODA
Why don’t you….
Give through devotion like a ship on the ocean (7x) with ad libs
Give through devotion like a ship on the ocean of Love? (3x)

I was dream-ing, I was walk-ing a-long the shore
Two sets of foot-prints; there were mine
There were those of the Lord
And we were walk-ing
Walk-ing a-long the shore
And I was think-ing I couldn't go on a-ny-more
Two sets of foot-prints were now only one on the shore
But then the light be-gan to dawn
I was be-ing car-ried by God's own Son
Car-ry on! Car-ry on!
So I will fol-low you each day my whole life through
And when I pick up my cross
I will be car-ried by You!
Car-ry on! Car-ry on! I am weak, you are strong!
Car-ry on! Car-ry on!
So I will walk a-long but I'll never walk a-lone
My heart is beat-ing strong
Your Heart is bleed-ing on your throne!
Car-ry on! Car-ry on! I am weak. You are strong!
Car-ry on! Car-ry me, Lord!
On your back the weight of a world of sin
By your stripes heal-ing the world be-gins and it goes on
So car-ry on! Car-ry on! Car-ry on! Car-ry on! Car-ry on!

You Need Love (Don’t Throw Your Life Away)
By Mark Lajoie
Copyright SRu 1-552-258
Standing so cold in your winter life
You can't make rhyme nor reason
Do you think maybe the season for love is turning?
A yearning, a burning desire
Learning the way of fire praying on your knees
Caring, Sharing and giving
Living and being all you were meant to be
You don’t need hypocrisy
You don’t need to silence me
You don’t need your noise & news
& party views surrounding you
You need Love
You need Love (Don’t throw your life away) (2x)
Hey-ey-ee-ey-ey-ey-ee-ey!
What you call love is not at all
You rise & fall above your slavery
Do you think maybe the season for love is turning?
A yearning, a burning desire
Learning the way of fire praying on your knees
Caring, Sharing and giving
Living and being all you were meant to be
You don’t need hypocrisy
You don’t need to silence me
You don’t need your noise & news
& party views surrounding you
You need Love
You need Love (Don’t throw your life away) (2x)
Hey-ey-ee-ey-ey-ey-ee-ey!
You need Love
You need Love (Don’t throw your life away) (2x)
Hey-ey-ee-ey-ey-ey-ee-ey!
Jesus is Love!

My town is like a pic-ture a puz-zle of the poor
al-ways, in the end, the pie-ces smashed u-pon the floor
There's a lone-ly drink-er thirst-ing
There's a rich girl bi-ding time
There's an old man dy-ing dai-ly
There's a fish-er cast-ing lines
CHORUS
For each heart is a lone-ly hunt-er
But His Heart will not rest
Till He's put them all to-geth-er
With each piece at peace at last
(lead)
We had each gone in our own way, a-lone, a-fraid and lost
So, in the end, His Bo-dy lay there offered on the Cross
Like the lone-ly drink-er thirst-ing
Like e-ter-ni-ty bi-ding time
Like the God-Man dy-ing dai-ly
Like a Fish-er cast-ing lines
CHORUS
Why don’t you share your pain wi-thin His?
Let Him paint you in-to the pic-ture
The pic-ture of His Heart of Love!

"Allelu! (instrumental)" - An Advent/Christmas Visual Meditation
ISRC: QZX882319579
This was written by future band member, Chuck, circa 1973: FIFTY years ago. It was initially performed by the Maine Catholic Charismatic Choir around that time. Chuck played his famous marching valve trombone! Several members of the future Living Waters were a part of that.
Original lyrics: "Allelu! Allelu-ia!". This is an instrumental version.
The images used here depict the amazing promise of a Messiah given to the prophets, fulfilled on that starry Christmas night beneath music & rejoicing of the sacred angels.
Produced by Mark A. Lajoie & Charles R. Rossignol.

From the album, "Classic...Live...Living...Waters"
This is an early (1982) live version of the song. We used lalalai to extract tracks & remix this just like the Beatles just did.

Ring the Jesus Bell by Mark Lajoie
Let it be known that some AI-generated images were used in this production, though, reluctantly! In this one case, telling a fable-type story, it seemed to work. Not sure that I would do it again after this. The video was created in Clipchamp.
The story is very loosely based on the teen novel, "Ring the Judas Bell" by James Forman. The only direct 'quote' from the story is the scene where the wolves surrounded the boy. Otherwise, it is an allegorical tale about our current situation. The answer to our common near-total, Judas-like betrayal of all that is good now, is to set our "heart ringing that Glorious Name", "the One Who is our only Way"....

A long time ago, but not so far away
In a little town, call it what you may…
The people turned away, oh, yes, they did betray
The One Who is our only Way!
A young boy cried, “there’s something wrong!
You don’t know what could happen before long!”
But the people would not listen,
And on his cheek a teardrop glistened
And the people cried,
“Ring the Judas Bell! Ring the Judas Bell! Ring the Judas Bell!”
And the people cried,
“Ring the Judas Bell! Ring the Judas Bell! Ring the Judas Bell!”
So, off the young boy wandered alone,
In the bitter winter cold
Searching for some piece of mind
Not really knowing what he’d find…
Let me tell you now!
Down in the valley! Down in the valley!
The wolves surrounded a boy,
Let me tell you now!
Down in the valley! Down in the valley!
The wolves have gone away!
A miracle has occurred!
The miracle isn’t that the wolves went away.
It’s that a man of God is here to stay!
Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! (repeat)
So back into the town he came, his heart ringing that Glorious Name!
And though he did not say a word, it was if the people had heard…
And the people cried,
Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! (repeat)
Levons nos yeux a Jesus! Let’s raise our eyes now to Jesus Christ!
We’ve rung the Judas bell. It doesn’t ring true.
Bien, levons nos yeux a cette heure a Jesus!
Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell! (repeat 2x)
Ring the Jesus bell! Ring the Jesus bell!

The world is fall-ing a-part

Not ea-sy to see
What's to be-come of me and you
So blue! No one knows what to do but
Still I will be-lieve in what is true that
Love's in a name
Je-sus will ne-ver change
He's al-ways the same
His love is a flame for you and me so free
It's flow-ing so ea-si-ly
Oh, can't you see
To love is how to be
CHORUS
All we've got to do, All we've got to do, All we've got to do is
Love to be free
All we need to know, All that has to show
The on-ly way to go is love
Yes, Love's in a name
Yes, Je-sus will ne-ver change

If we don't have love, If we don't have love
We are just a clang-ing gong
But if we have love, Oh! If we have love
We sing a song, We sing a song
We are strong, We are strong
We are strong

All we've got to do, All we've got to do

All we've got to do, All we've got to do

A Stand of Courage by Mark Lajoie
"I wrote it at 10 years old.
Produced a demo in 2011.
Re-mixed this on April 15, 2023.
Perfectly timely for THIS moment."
Mark wrote the basic idea to this when he was ten years old. Circa 2011, Dave gave him the Noteworthy Composer app. Using this, he created different parts and then transferred the midi tracks to GarageBand and selected instruments to fit each part. He sang the vocals over this and put the result out as a demo. On June 15, 2023, he re-created the tracks and re-mixed them, resulting in what you hear here.
It expresses that deep sense that we were meant to give our lives entirely in imitation of and in union with the One Who made us, He Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
LYRICS adapted from the 10-years old version by Mark A. Lajoie!

Deep in my sor-row and my pain
There still re-mains
A pil-lar of help for a-ny yelp of hu-man mi-ser-y
With help from you and God I'll find out where it lies
And we shall de-fy i-mag-i-na-tion
With a stand of cour-age
A stand of cour-age
With a stand of en-cour-age-ment
With a stand of cou-rage
Yeah, Yeah!
Ooooooooo!
Spi-rit of love, Spi-rit of life
You are the peace with-in our strife
You are the key that sets the cap-tives free
You are the two-edged sword that cuts through all the lies
And we shall de-fy i-mag-i-na-tion
With a stand of cou-rage
He'll be my cou-rage
Won't you be my in-spi-ra-tion
With a stand of cou-rage

Like a gen-tle warm-ing breeze
Let the Spir-it come in, let it blow a-way
Let it wash me in the seas
Let my ship out of this bot-tle
With a gen-tle warm-ing wind
Let the wind in my sails, let it blow a-way
Let me be born a-gain
No more booze blues cruise
I choose
No more booze blues cruise
One path left to choose
Three sheets to the wind

I've heard they put ships in a bot-tle
But I got my-SELF trapped in-side
Out of con-trol, get-tin' blown a-way
On a ver-y ex-pen-sive ride
CHORUS
On the booze blues cruise
You lose...
On the booze blues cruise
No tack left to choose
Three sheets to the wind
When am I gon-na hit bot-tom?
When am I gon-na be free?
Here I am trapped in the bot-tle
Some-bo-dy res-cue me!
[CHORUS]
On the booze blues cruise
You lose...
On the booze blues cruise
No tack left to choose
Three sheets to the wind
(lead)
Heard the Lord's love like a ze-phyr
Like a gen-tle warm-ing breeze
Let the Spir-it come in, let it blow a-way
Let it wash me in the seas
Let my ship out of this bot-tle
With a gen-tle warm-ing wind
Let the wind in my sails, let it blow a-way
Let me be born a-gain
No more booze blues cruise
I choose
No more booze blues cruise
One path left to choose
Three sheets to the wind
The wind (it blows)
The wind (it blows)
The wind (it blows)
The wind (it blows)

"STEP DOWN" live 1987, volume added
“Step Down”
by Mark A. Lajoie & Greg Loell
Copyright 2011, RN SR 679-889
You came from on high, you were born to live and die
You came to step down
Once and for all to rise for our fall
Born to step down
You love with such love
That born to die you step down, you step down
Now I must try to live and die in you
I want to step down
Come take my heart, be my end and my start
I want to step down
You love with such love
That born to rise I’ll step down, step down
Be my Lord!
Take, take my heart
Be my end and my start
Take, take my heart
Be my end and my start
Take my heart, ‘cause I step down
We all need to step down
Be the Lord!
[lead]
Take, take my heart
Be my end and my start
Take, take my heart
Be my end and my start
Take my heart, ‘cause I step down
Oh, please, step down
Step down!
