The Bride of Christ by Vicki May Simzer

The bride of Christ stands on the cusp
Into the Promised Land
Her one true love – Jesus Christ
Has asked for her hand

The church of Christ has struggled so
To overcome so much
She’s been intimate with the world
Yet craves His loving touch

The bride of Christ awaits the day
Of Her groom’s glorious return
She’ll vow to be His alone
And from her past she’ll turn

Her lusts have been very great
Her power lame and slow
But Christ’s loves her always
In His love she’ll grow

The bride of Christ stands straight and tall
Preened for her wedding day
And lovingly awaits the time
Her grooms comes back to stay

The church falls short of the mark
The world has much to say
But on the cross Christ bled and died
So she’d be His one day

The bride of Christ prepares herself
For the marriage just ahead
When Christ returns to the earth
And to His bride is wed

The church of Christ is not so pure
Her past filled with shame
But Christ has vowed to purify
Her when she takes His name

The bride of Christ is ready now
To start her new life
She’s cleansed her heart fully so
She can be His wife

My soul finds Rest in Thee - You're my Beloved,
My soul longs after Thee, You’re my Beloved
You are My Peace, my Joy and have become my All in All,
My soul finds rest in Thee. You’re my Beloved

My mind is stayed on Thee, you're my Beloved
You give me Life and Peace, You’re my Beloved
You are My Hope - my God,
You are the One, who comforts me,
My mind is stayed on Thee, you're my Beloved.

My soul thirsts after Thee, you're my Beloved
My soul cries out to Thee, You're my Beloved
You are My Rock - My Strength
And have become My Salvation,
My soul finds Rest in Thee - You're my Beloved
You're my Beloved - You're my Beloved.

Lead Me To The Cross by Vicki May Simzer

Lead me to the cross
Take me by the hand
As I enter in
To the Promised Land

Lead me to the cross
Take my hurt and shame
Heal my brokenness
And give me a new name

Lead me to the cross
Where my Saviour died
Let me die to self
Purge my sin and pride

Lead me to the cross
Where all grace is poured
Let the lost find hope
As dreams are restored

Lead me to the cross
Where His blood was shed
Set me free from death
Pour out life instead

Lead me to the cross
Where my sins are placed
Help me to feel clean
And know they are erased

Lead me to the cross
To the place of agony
Take all my reproach
And fully set me free

Seasons by Vicki May Simzer
(Based on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

There is a time to born
And a time to die
A time to rejoice
And a time to cry
A time for peace
And a time for war
A time to be still
And strive no more

There is a time to be found
And a time to seek
A time to be silent
And a time to speak
A time to love
And a time to hate
A time for action
And a time to wait

There’s a time to destroy
And time to build
A time to be planted
And a time to be tilled
A time to laugh
And a time to grieve
A time to fail
And a time to achieve

There’s a time to harvest
And a time to plant
A time for plenty
And a time for want
A time to be numb
And a time to feel
A time to be hurt
And a time to heal

There’s a time for family
And a time for foe
A time to arrive
And a time to go
A time for faith
And a time for fear
A time to listen
And a time to hear

There’s a time be sober
And a time to relax
A time for dreams
And a time for facts
A time for fat
And a time for lean
A time to be heard
And a time to be seen

There’s a time for darkness
And a time for light
A time to divide
And a time to unite
A time to remember
And a time to forgive
A time to die
And a time to live

The Angels of Harvest by Vicki May Simzer

The fields are ripe for the harvest now
The tares stand tall, the wheat all bow CHORUS
Commissioned to the harvest from above
Gathering the sheaves now bound in love

The angels of harvest swarm around
Sent from heaven to earth’s plowed ground
Gathering, harvesting the lost of this land
Sent and ordained by God’s own right hand

CHORUS

The tormented cries of the lost are heard
By the Father above who misses no word
He calls His church to be His feet and hands
And to share the Good News to all the lands

CHORUS

The King shall return and we know not the day
But victory will be His so the scriptures say
He’ll build a new kingdom commissioned from above
He’ll wed His new bride for she’s His true love

A Time For Peace by Vicki May Simzer

The time for peace has come to us
The time for peace is near CHORUS
The time for peace as answered prayer
This time is finally here

Oh God you know the pain we bear
The suffering, the shame
And God You hear our every prayer
And answer us by name

CHORUS

You’ve walked this path along our way
You’ve calmed the waves and storm
You’ve held our hands and guided us
You’ve seen the cross we’ve borne

CHORUS

Your promises are there for us
The hope of ages past
Our destinies are in Your hands
And burdens on You to cast

CHORUS

Make us one in faith and mind
Heal our broken heart
Give us the strength to walk in love
And receive a new start

I came home from work to prepare some worship songs for our Monday prayer meeting. As I sat down and began to play my guitar, what was on my heart was this time of consecration and desiring what God wants to do in us to fulfill His purpose in our churches, cities, and nation.

As I played a rhythm came and this song poured out. I have not written many songs but this one came complete. I wanted to record it and share it with the Watchman and the nation. I just had the opportunity to record it yesterday. As we truly devote all that we are to Him, He releases so much into our lives and prepares us for so much more.

It has been a hard summer but I have seen God’s Grace in all of it and have already witnessed God’s word coming true in all. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” I am holding onto faith and His promises.

I have included the words to the song below:

Click Here to listen to Consecrate

Verse
I consecrate my will to You
Oh Lord, my God
I bind my heart
To Yours alone
To desire only you

Pre-Chorus
Help my heart
Have a fear of You
and an awe
of what You've done
of what You've done

Chorus
For Your the one who formed me in my mother's womb
and you set before me death and life
So take me to a place where I pick up my cross
and I choose to follow only You

My prayer is that the anointing I have experience with this song and fruit to bring about a consecration in the heart of others would continue to anyone that listens and worships the Lord with these words.

Come Back Jerusalem by Beryl Cameron

Come Jerusalem, come Jerusalem come and sit on the Father’s knee
Come Jerusalem, sweet, sweet Jerusalem, come and sit on the Father’s knee

And He will tell you a great, great story
of long ago when you loved him so
There was no other god you held before Him
when you were young, Jerusalem
Come, come Jerusalem
come and sit on the Father’s knee
Come Jerusalem, oh sweet Jerusalem, come and sit on the Father’s knee

He welcomes you with open arms
and forgives all your sins.
There’s lots of room, oh Jerusalem
Come and sit on the Father’s knee.

He holds you close to his heart
He will set your captives free
Come Jerusalem, come back Jerusalem
Come and sit on the Father’s knee

He will give back to you your inheritance
Oh sweet Jerusalem, come and sit on the Father’s knee
Come and hear the Father’s heart
beat strong for you Oh Jerusalem.
See the angels standing guard
Protecting, watching you, Jerusalem.

Come, come back Jerusalem,
come and sit on the Father’s knee
Come Jerusalem, sweet, sweet Jerusalem, come and sit on the Father’s knee

Give him praise, Oh Jerusalem
Sing a song of highest praise.
For once again he has set you free.
Come Jerusalem, (come and sit on the Father’s knee x2)
Because his love is so deep for you x 2
Because his love is so deep for you, Jerusalem.

Fly Little White Dove Fly

When we're stuck in troubled days
We must learn to love each other
Instead of going different ways
We must try to get together

Chorus:
Fly little white dove, fly, way up high
Spread your wings, sing out your cry
'Cross the universal sky

If we love the Human race
Peace should be your aspiration
Let’s make this a better place
Spread the word to every nation

[Chorus]

When a simple word is spoken
It should be our guiding light
If vows for peace are never broken
Then the whole world will unite

[Chorus]
(repeat until fade)
