1. He loved them to the uttermost, 
Those whom the Father chose;
Jesus, our shepherd, friend and Lord,
After the meal, He rose;
He laid aside divinity,
Then girded with humility,
He washed and wiped
this dirty world away.

    Filled with His freshness,
    power and presence,
    Having been washed and filled
    we love as Christ loved us;
    Spiritual energy,
    daily revival,
    Loving the brothers now
    as Christ has first loved us.

2. He loved them to the uttermost,
He washed His loved ones feet,
Produced this pleasant atmosphere
Where all the saints can meet.
His fragrant love has filled the room,
The service of our dear Bridegroom,
Jesus the Savior purifies His bride.

3. He loved them to the uttermost,
His Spirit was poured out;
His living word enlightens us,
Removes all fear and doubt;
The inner law of life dispensed,
Our heart filled in the deepest sense,
Maintains our love
for Jesus and His own.

He Loved Them to the Uttermost

Psalm 16:1-3
1  Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2  I say to Jehovah, You are my Lord; No good have I beyond You;
3  As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent; All my delight is in them.

Preserve Me, O God (Psalm 16:1-3)

Et voici le Temps des Fêtes! La période de l’année le plus féérique et festive. Encore cette année, nous aurons le plaisir d’entendre nos chansons et cantiques de Noël préférés qui nous rappellent tant de souvenirs. Il y aura aussi de tous  nouveaux titres et d’anciens réarrangés. C’est cette relecture d’un classique que je veux vous partager cette année avec ma collègue vocaliste et amie depuis plus de 20 ans : Marie-Christine Tremblay. Sous le nom MCDC (notre duo) nous vous ferons revivre la chanson ‘Joyeux Noël’ dans une toute autre ambiance. En effet, cette relecture sera inspirée par un beau rythme brésilien (samba lente), toute en douceur ‘jazzy’. Les voix magnifiques de Marie-Noëlle Claveau, le rythme énergique mais tout en couleur de David Simard, la très belle basse de François Moisan, la flûte en contrepoint de Cindy Tremblay et le vibrant piano de Valérie Tremblay font vivre agréablement  mon arrangement. Les tout est admirablement réalisé en studio par Martin Larose (Studio Septentrio).  Bonne écoute et… Joyeux Noël!

And here is the holiday season! The most magical and festive time of year. Again this year, we will have the pleasure of hearing our favorite Christmas songs and canticles that bring back so many memories. There will also be brand new titles and old rearranged ones. It is this rereading of a classic that I want to share with you this year, along with my vocalist colleague and friend for over 20 years: Marie-Christine Tremblay. Under the name MCDC (our duo) we will make you relive the song 'Joyeux Noël' in a completely different atmosphere. Indeed, this re-reading will be inspired by a beautiful Brazilian rhythm (slow samba), all in a ‘jazzy softness’. The magnificent voices of Marie-Noëlle Claveau, the energetic and colorful rhythm of David Simard, the very beautiful bass of François Moisan, the counterpoint flute by Cindy Tremblay and the vibrant piano by Valérie Tremblay bring my arrangement to life pleasantly. Everything is admirably created in the studio by Martin Larose (Studio Septentrio). Enjoy listening and... Merry Christmas!

Joyeux Noël

I Have Set Before You (Deut. 30 19b - 20a)

Once I wandered in this vain, decaying, turbulent world 
Finding nothing that gave meaning inside
In that barren land, I long had thirsted 
But I found that nothing satisfy.

Then I saw You, Lord, 
As You revealed Your living water to me
Saying, “Drink and find an endless supply”
And I touched You as the living fountain
As the well that never will run dry.

And now I wander, thirst no longer
Since I called on You and took You as my King
Broken cisterns dry, I leave behind me
For within I have a living spring.

Lord, You came to me; so moved by pity
And You died for me, though lesser than the least
Once a prodigal, now clothed with mercy
So by grace I can enjoy the feast.

2
Now that I have Your regenerating life in me, Lord.
Let me constantly experience You,
O Lord, soften me and keep me open
And now all my fleshly life subdue.

But don't stop there
write your law of life upon my innermost being
And transform me to Your image inside
Build me up within Your glorious Body
Till I meet you as Your longed-for Bride.

And now You draw me with all Your beauty
Mary poured her all and I will do the same
Now I consecrate my life to You, Lord.
And rejoice to suffer for Your name.

Till we’re built into the consummation
New Jerusalem with the life-giving tree
And the river flows through all the City
Gushing up to eternity.

Once I Wandered

1. Who can ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who can really understand my weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your person stands by me to be my hope and life.

Chorus: 
Your love so deep moving and sweet
How can I still stubborn be;
No more I struggle and strive,
Trust in Your faith and rest in Your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life flowing rich and free;
When You wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd, behold a smiling face!

Who Can Ever Know the Feeling

ENGLISH
I am a tree, with roots by
The river of living water
Trials still may come
But they end in victory
And even in the wilderness
When there's no hope at all
I have roots by the river of the Lord
When the scorching sun arrives
My leaves won’t wither and die
I have roots by the river of the Lord

SPANISH
Soy como árbol junto
al río de aguas vivas
Pruebas, sí, vendrán
Mas victoria me dará
Y aún en el desierto
Cuando esperanza no hay
Estoy plantado en el río del Señor
Cuando venga sequedad
Mi hoja no morirá
Estoy plantado en el río del Señor

Roots By The River (2017) - The Quintet

1
	My wandering days grew increasingly empty
As I searched for the way,
Just to fill this gap inside me—
Found my seeking vain.
Though all this dark earth would convince me life’s worthwhile,
Inside all my mirth
Was a cry for something real.
Don’t you lie to me, world!
  	For my heart tells me different
When I hear of contentment
Deep within a lack knew better
  Why not be honest, world.
2
	A flood of strong doubt as I heard the old story
Of a man they called Lord;
Yet my heart ne’er ceased to wonder,
Is He really Lord?
A search in His Word found my hardened heart softened,
And earth’s vanities faded.
In the brightness of His presence
Jesus came into me.
  	Now we’re always together
Growing into God’s fullness.
O Lord Jesus, how I love You!
  You brought life into me.

Lord Jesus, Draw Me

Loved With Everlasting Love

1.
As the world rushes on,
I’m reminded of Thee.
Though time passes away,
There’s eternity in me.

Now nothing ’neath the sun,
But Thou and Thou alone,
Can satisfy my heart.
Things temp’ral will not do;
I’d things above pursue;
Eternal One, Thou art.

2.
Priceless ’tis, now I see,
To spend time seeking Thee.
Time is precious to me,
Limited in quantity.

Lord, I just want to spend
My time with only Thee,
For Thou art worthy Lord.
I’d every moment seize,
Not one spent without Thee,
But with my love, my Lord.

3.
How can I spend my time
That it’d be valuable,
Thousand-fold multiplied,
Ever our memorial?

I’d rather spend a day,
With Thee and with Thy saints,
Than thousand days away.
One thing, that do I seek,
To dwell within Thy house
Beholding Thee always.

4.
New beginning I ask.
All my heart, capture more;
All my time, spent with Thee;
All my days, on Thee outpoured.

The time, may I redeem,
From many wasted days,
From wand’ring aimlessly.
More time I cannot waste;
Thou long didst wait for me,
To turn my being to Thee.

As the world rushes on

Rise Up, My Love

In key of G

Lyrics:

Draw me, dear Lord, with Your beauty,
Capture my heart till earth fades away.
I need Your love to attract me
So I can love You more today.

Empty me, Lord, how I need You!  
Unclog my mind, emotion, and will.
All that I have, I abandon
So all my heart, Your life can fill.

Oh fill me now with Your life, Lord,
Flood my whole being with rivers divine.
I open wide; what enjoyment!
To live Your life, dear Lord, as mine.
