St. Valentine's Music Package (including a new love song!)

St. Valentine's Music Package

(including a new love song!)

 from Living Waters

We have to talk about the meaning of the day, don't we? There were actually several martyrs named Valentinus, but only one gave his life on February 14, 270 AD. In the Lord's name, he gave sight to the jailer's blind daughter, Julia. (Julia is my wife's name, so I particularly love this story!) He sent her a signed note and pink almond flowers bloomed at his grave, the start of a couple of things we do on this day.

Living Waters has been a marriage factory! Of the original band, we've produced at least ten marriages in the first wave alone, I believe; and the 'puddles' have been very busy getting married, and even the third 'wave' has already begun years ago. Our Creator, after all, made the holy bond of Matrimony as his model for human community right from the beginning, right? We have always LOVED this day way back in the 80's till now. Joyce Rossignol has usually been the organizer of our annual St. Valentine's Day get-togethers. I remember one year, my relative, Marist Fr. Roland Lajoie joined us in a renewal of vows. As I recall, at least one child resulted later from that meeting!

Stories are nice but 'our gift is our song' and I thought it would be nice to put together a package of our love songs, especially a brand new and beautiful new one from Mike. Mike has outdone himself this time. Just listen to this:

"You" by Mike McBride

Isn't that gorgeous?! You ought to tell him how great it is. Go to his ReverbNation site or the LW site and tell the truth about it.

And now some of our love song videos:

And, finally our perennial favorite, 

"We're Gonna Stay"

**2/10/23 a brand new lyric video**

Happy St. Valentine's Day, especially those of you who have actually listened to and appreciated music we have produced over the years! OverFLOWing blessings in this life unto life everlasting....

Peace & Love & JOY,

Mark LaJOIE!

For the feast of St. Valentine, who died for love of God and neighbor on February 14, 270 AD, Living Waters offers you two videos which celebrate 'forever' married love in Christ. The first is Mark & Julia's first dance, a song written by Mark. The second is a brand new love song by Mike, "Stay!". Enjoy in good spiritual health.....

And when I first did see your face

Time and space stopped drift-ing by

And in your eyes I saw a trace

of that for which Man's Lov-er laid down his life

Where does this lov-ing stream flow?

You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'

For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life

And I re-a-lize I love you

I love you

And when I first drank from the well

I could-n't tell you all the sweet-ness that I found

And as we come to know it well

Two ri-vers flow-ing now will join as one

Where does this lov-ing stream flow?

You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'

For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life

And I re-a-lize I love you

I love you

"Stay!", a love song by Michael McBride from our new album, "Still Flowing".

Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Peace & LOVE & Joy,

Mark LaJOIE!

Well, it's now February, and I think we are gearing up for St. Valentine's Day. We will share several items, including the new song by Mike. This song I recorded vocal and guitar on cassette and the wedding band played along with it for the first dance at our wedding, June 1, 1986. It's kind of hard to hear the words, so I will reproduce them here:

And when I first did see your face

Time and space stopped drift-ing by

And in your eyes I saw a trace

of that for which Man's Lov-er laid down his life

Where does this lov-ing stream flow?

You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'

For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life

And I re-a-lize I love you

I love you

And when I first drank from the well

I could-n't tell you all the sweet-ness that I found

And as we come to know it well

Two ri-vers flow-ing now will join as one

Where does this lov-ing stream flow?

You know it's say-ing 'Go with me! Go with me!'

For I feel an end-less hun-ger to be free in life

I love you
