Track Name: This Man Jesus
This Man Jesus
Denes McIntosh
 
The Son of God, He became a man
to people through the ages, he held out his hand
He walked the land of Canaan and the shores of Galilee
calling Simon, Andrew, James and John
He said "come follow me,
leave your nets just where they lie
you'll not need them again
for I intend to make my friends into fishers of men".
 
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 
He roamed throughout the country
casting demons from their homes
preparing his disciples,
healing people where he'd go
They hailed him in Jerusalem,
then killed him on a cross
Fulfilling his commission
cause he came to save the lost.
 
Chorus:
 
More than owning all the treasures in the land
my heart longs to be like a man
 
I've studied in the scriptures
I've known by his grace
I've followed in the way
having never seen his face
I've worshipped in the temple
and I've talked with in the dawn
Been forgiven by in spite of
everything that I've done wrong.
 
Chorus:
 
Track Name: I Know You Lord
I know You Lord
Denes McIntosh
 
Jesus, you are my freedom
Jesus, you are my strength
you're with me whenever I need you
you stand by me to any length.
 
Well I know you're a man who understands where I've been
you knew me at the cross where you bore my every sin
you've prepared a place of rest for me and long to let me in
I believe in you, and I've been born again.
 
God, you are my Father
Father, I am your child
You're never too busy to bother
with the little needs that don't even seem worthwhile.
 
Well I know that you've been hurt a thousand times in every day
And I know you've been forgotten by the people that you made
But there are still a few who love you and who long to hear you say
you'll give us time to show another man the way.
 
Spirit, flow right on through me
Spirit, you are my guide
you comfort and you renew me
you gently direct my life.
 
Well I know of the wonders that you wish to be revealed
and the souls you seek to reach, and the hearts you long to heal
And the aching, empty, lonely lives with which you wish to deal
Oh holy Spirit, lead me where you will
My Lord Jesus, I am yours to fill
Heavenly Father, use me as you will.
Track Name: Jesus Never Fails
Jesus Never Fails
Denes McIntosh
 
Early in the morning before the break of dawn
I'm on my knees to see what Gods got goin’ on
I often need to ask him, "Lord teach me how to pray"
He always seem to answer "child I'm hearin what you say".
 
Before the worlds awakened I'm whisperin’ his name
wonderin' just how he always seems to stay the same
Askin' "won't you keep me through another busy day
Give to me the strength I need and lead me in the way.”
 
Chorus:
Jesus never fails me
Jesus never fails
He'll never leave me or forsake me
my Lord Jesus, He never never ever fails.
 
Early in the morning before the break of dawn
I'm puttin' on my armor for the fight that's goin’ on
I gird up my belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness,
helmet of salvation, good news shoes and all the rest.
My left hand takes my shield of faith
my right hand holds my sword
I begin the day he's given singin' praises to the lord.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: A New Day
A New Day
Denes McIntosh
 
Morning holds the promise that a new day is upon us
for the purpose of the glory of the son
The gentle breezes seem to whisper sacred reasons
why my Jesus poured his precious love on everyone.
The silence of the summer sky serves somehow to remind me
of the wonder of the one god up above
The calm and quiet country side helps make me conscious of the time
I'm spending in the comfort of his love.
 
Chorus:
I will praise you Lord forever
and rejoice before your throne
I will worship you wherever
my two feet are bound to roam
I will sing and shout your glory
I will let your name be known
I will lift my heart before thee
I will look to you alone.
 
Yesterday has come and gone, tomorrows in the makin'
and today I'm livin’ freely in his grace
Lookin’ for the moment when I'll see his kind and lovin’ eyes
and look upon his bright and shining face
The joy that only Jesus gives just keeps on growing stronger
as I walk a little longer by his side.
And the blessings that He brings to me
begin to be the things that he has wanted to bestow
for quite some time.
 
Chorus:
 
So many days and night I've spent in marvel of the miracles
I've seen my Lord performing for his flock.
So many ways his life has lent it's guiding light to help prevent
my feet from falling from the solid rock
His love cannot be measured by the boundaries of the pleasure
we have found to be a part of love within
But it goes beyond the strongest understanding of the fondest feelings
we could ever hope to have for Him.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: He Treats Me Good
He Treats Me Good
Denes McIntosh
 
Lord I'm so grateful for the freedom that you give
I just want to thank you for the life you let me live
if I could only find a way to say "hey you treat me much too good"
I know you'd turn around, look down and say
"child I treat you like a father should".
But still I feel that you treat me much too good.
 
I often wonder bout the way I'm treating you
I fail so often in the things I say and do
if I could only return to you Lord, half the love you've given me
I know that I'd be able to pour forth
enough to fill the deepest sea
And that would only be half as much as you've given me.
 
It's such a blessing Lord to have you on my side.
There is no other one in whom I would abide.
You loved me right on out of my sin
and now you bless me every day
you showed me where I had to begin
and now you lead me on my way
and there wasn't any price I had to pay.
 
No there wasn't any price I had to pay
I thank you Lord for given me a brand new day
and I thank you Lord for leadin' me on my way.
 
Track Name: Song To God
Song To God
Denes McIntosh
 
Oh God there comes a time
when I don't know what to do
no matter how I try
I keep on hurting you
but you just keep forgiving time and again
I know each time I sin I've really hurt a friend.
 
Chorus:
How can one God love me so much?
How can Jesus heal me with a touch?
How can He care for me I'm such a wicked man?
Oh Lord, I just don't understand.
But I love you, and I can clearly see
I love you Lord because you first loved me.
 
When I'm feeling down and out
you always come around
Every time without a doubt
you pick me off the ground
when I'm thankin' you and feelin' pretty good
you always seem to do
what I never thought you could.
 
Chorus:
 
Track Name: Jesus Is Coming Again
Jesus is Coming Again
Denes McIntosh
 
Chorus:
Jesus is coming again
Jesus is coming again
Jesus is coming again
coming to carry us home.

Give him your talent
and give him your time
give him your strength
and give him your mind
give him your days
and give him your nights
give him your love
and give him your life

Chorus:

Give him your heart
and give him your hand
give him your woman
or give him your man
give him your home
or give him your land
give him your future
and give him your plans.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: Where Is The Peace?
Where is the Peace?
Denes McIntosh
 
World's gone insane
people blowin' out their brains
flyin' off of bridges
lyin' down in front of trains
shootin' dope to cope
with life cause they can't take it
getting drunk, life always stunk
it's more than what you make it.
 
Chorus:
and you ask "Where is the peace, the Prince of Peace,
Why can’t He ease our troubled minds?
He came unashamed to die for you and me
Now we must come to Him on bended knee.
 
Sedatives, take one
don't worry what you've done
you say "it was all in fun"
another mornings gonna come.
Expensive wine, refined
broken dreams that can't be mended
sleeping pills, no thrills
just a painless way to end it.
 
Chorus:
 
Meditation, mesmerized
enlightened to the times
nothing's wrong, nothing's right
relativity delight.
Guilt you say is built
upon a concept someone gave you
you choose to lose your conscience
thinking somehow that can save you.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: My Lord
My Lord
Denes McIntosh
 
My Lord is faithful, my Lord
my Lord, he's just
my Lord, he's gentle, my Lord
my Lord is someone I can trust.
 
Chorus:
My Lord, he moves the mountains
my Lord holds back the sea'
my Lord orders all creation
my Lord is moving within' me.
 
My Lord, He's mercy, my Lord
my Lord, He's strong
my Lord, He's perfect, my Lord
my Lord is never wrong.
 
Chorus:
 
My Lord, He's patient, my Lord
my Lord, He's kind
my Lord, He's holy, my Lord
my Lord brings me peace of mind.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: The Captain Song
The Captain Song
Denes McIntosh
 
Every morning I wake and wonder
if I can climb that hill
with little warning I step from under
my fathers perfect will.
 
But he keeps me with tender mercy
kind and warm and still
then gently leads me back to the safety
within his glorious will.
 
Chorus:
And we climb that hill together
and we fight the battle side by side
I realize I'm gonna live forever
cause I'm ridin' on the side
of the Captain of eternal life.
 
Every evening I'm layin’ free from
the worries of the day
I've been seein' what I've been needing
provided in a wondrous way
As I've been seekin' Him
I find that I've been reachin' Him
not by the words I pray
not by the songs I've sung, not by the deeds I've done
but only by His grace.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: I'll Give Him My Life
I'll Give Him My Life
Denes McIntosh
 
I've got a debt I can never repay
Jesus he carried all my sins away
I know He won't come collecting today
He says it's been covered by His saving grace.
 
Chorus:
I'll give Him my life
I'll make Him my Lord
I'll give Him my life
that's payment I can afford.
 
I've got a Lord who holds all things in line
I found sweet salvation in the nick of time
Jesus don't want to leave no one behind
He gave me His life so I'm givin' Him mine.
 
Chorus:
 
I've got a friend who could never betray
the trust that I place in his hands every day
He knows me like nobody's known me this way
there's only one thing I can think of to say.
 
Chorus:
 
Track Name: The Saints Who've Gone Before
The Saints Who've Gone Before
Denes McIntosh
  
I thought I'd write a song
for the people who went on before me
the saints who worked so long
serving Jesus, they've gone on to glory.
 
Chorus:
Well I appreciate the way you shone
your light before the city.
You kept the faith
and sometimes even gave your life
It's such a pity
that we didn't get to meet
while you were here.
 
You fought the battles well
by what you taught me I can tell you really knew Him.
The evidence remains, the testimony of the saints
that you led to Him.
 
Chorus:
 
If your loved ones have gone on
to the kingdom far beyond the ones that we see
We'll meet them in the air, everybody will be there
They'll come in glory.
 
Chorus:
And they'll appreciate the way we shone
our lights before the city.
We'll have kept the faith
and even given up our lives
It's not a pity.
We'll rejoice together then before the Lord.
 
Track Name: Elaine's Song
Elaine's Song
Denes McIntosh
 
Come away my beloved
seek after me
I know your desires child
I know your needs
I will never fail thee
I'll surely never leave
Unknown riches await thy discovery.
 
Chorus:
My hand shall be upon you
my gentle arms have spawned you
so I say to thee as I have said before
"Lie not dormant
be not like the rocks
lying near the pond
gathering the moss
follow close behind me
no matter what the cost
I will be your shepherd
be my flock".
 
Lo, I am with thee
child I will help thee
Be not discouraged
nor weary of heart.
My love shall be thy constant portion
my joy a priceless fortune
welling up within your faithful heart.
 
Chorus:
Track Name: Power From On High
Power From on High
Denes McIntosh
 
He's changing me
I've been growing day by day
but I've never been this way before.
He's changing me
in a deep and lasting way
I asked Him, "Lord, let me give you more"?
 
Chorus:
He's movin' in my life
I've given up the fight
I won't stand in His way again
He's moving by His Holy Spirit
I no longer have to fear  it now
I know He wants to send
 
Power from on High
a rushing mighty wind
flaming tongues of fire
before he comes again
redemption draweth nigh
so lift up your head
we haven't got much time
before He comes again.
 
He's lookin' for a few good men
He can depend upon to entrust His power
He's lookin' for a few good friends who'll stand again
like Stephen stood in his final hour.
 
Chorus:
Is He movin’ in your life?
Have you given up the fight?
will you stand in His way again?
Is He movin' by his Holy Spirit?
You no longer have to fear it now
you know He wants to send.
 
Power from on High
a rushing mighty wind
flaming tongues of fire
before he comes again
redemption draweth nigh
so lift up your head
we haven't got much time
before He comes again.
