Bright

Though the chaos
Breaks the silence of night
And the turmoil
Surmounts and causes fright

Trusting in the One with might
None other than
The Light of the world so bright

The chaos comes to order
And turmoil becomes calmer
The day becomes much brighter
Dispersing darkness farther

But by His guiding Hand

Strong Foundation

Strong Foundation 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The foundation 
Of the Son 
Can't be shaken 
Or undone

So place your trust in
The Son
Abiding in Him 
As one

The Day

The Day
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Once there was a girl
Who did not know the Lord
Her life was in a twirl
Not knowing the Word

Everytime the Word was sown
The evil one snatched away
She was left all alone
Wasting her life away

But finally a day came
For her to be called
To be rid of the shame
And cleansed from it all

Flooded in tears
Accepting the Word
Rid of the fears
Knowing the Lord

So gone are the days
Walking the path alone
Now anchored in His Ways
Bringing Glory to His Throne

And shine His light

In His Hand
On the Lord
I depend

In or Out

In or Out
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The way of the Kingdom
Has no in between
You will be in freedom
When you follow Him

Things are either black or white
There is no grey area in sight
Be in darkness or in the light
Live in faith or be in fright

You are either here or there
In the Kingdom or out there
Make a choice as to where
Lay your foot and stay there

Go Far

Go Far
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not live in the past
For it has now gone
No matter what it was
It's not carved in stone

The past is only a part of you
It does not dictate who you are
Your life is what's ahead of you
Do not be stuck but go on far

The Lord determines your path
No matter how tough it was
A pearl was made in the rough
It did not become a loss

It's not about what was in the past
Or how you started your journey
What matters most is how at last
You bring to God all the Glory

Beautiful

Beautiful
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

During those times of trouble
Numbed were my senses
I did not see any beauty
I could not give much praises

I struggled through those times
Not knowing how to get through
But I have seen that in every time
You were the One who got me through

Finally reaching the other side
I see all things beautiful
Although still in a bumpy ride
My senses are now full

O how much I have missed
Along the rough and tough way
But now I shall never miss
Rejoicing and praising You every day 

Though the trials and challenges remain
But my heart and mind have transformed
Fully steadfast and determined to aim
That of which You desire of me to become

Righteous path 
Always in Your 
Gracious plan

For I have learned a great lesson
In order for all things to be well

And trust in my Lord God Almighty

So I shall live happy
To the end of length
Abiding in Him fully

Strong in Your stand

The challenges had brought me
To see Your wonderful Glory

The Inner

The Inner
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What beauty is there 
Beyond the eyes
If one does not care 
What underlies

Differs from the inner 
But the Lord judges 
That of the inner

Let minds be pure 
And hearts be true 
In faith mature 
And grow in Truth

Turn

Turn

Unto the Lord
Trust in Jesus
And not the world

He will guide you
If you ask Him
He will show you
When you seek Him

The Light

A door opens slowly
Revealing a dark room
This room is completely
Filled with doom and gloom

Then a bright shining Light
Beams into the room

In the Light
Do not mope
Or be in fright

Reach out to the Light
And your burdens become light
Embrace its righteous plight
And your life will be made right

My life is enriched by Your Word
Nothing more I desire as much

Any room for offence 
But let hearts be

At peace in God instead

Let there not be 
Any cause to resent
But let hearts be 
Repentant and content

True Hope

True Hope
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The tears fall like heavy showers of rain 
The heart sore from all the sorrows and pain
With evil seeping into each corner 
The path is getting tougher and rougher

But behind the thick dark clouds 
There is a Savior of great valor 
Without a shadow of doubt
A mighty yet merciful Ruler

In Him there is true hope 
For all the blind who grope
Desperately to be 
Eternally set free

For He is the Way, 
Truth and Life 
In no other Name 
Is there life

I Praise You

I praise You in the good times
And most certainly in the bad times

And through all the threatened frights

I praise You in the stormy seas
And even when trouble does not cease
I praise You that I always see
You being my only source of peace

I praise You in the darkest hour
And the times of greatest showers
I praise You for You are my master
And my heart shall love no other

The Great One

The Great One
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The steep climb up the hill
Feels like a tonne of weight
But my heart remains still
Depending on the One so great

As an eagle, I take flight
Charging forwards without fright
Walking in His awesome might

Shine

Shine
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As tears trickle down
The face of the fallen
With no love to be found
And the heart has sunken

Hoping for the darkness
To forever disappear
In search of loving kindness
To cast out the fear

Would you be the light
That shines so bright
Bringing to plain sight
The one true Light

For no hope of life
Is found elsewhere
But the One who gives life
From His breath of air

Reveal the hope
And remove the veil
Do not allow
Evil to prevail

A soft whisper I hear
In the chaos of the night
Making my mind clear
Bringing vision to my sight

So very clear
It is then to me
That whenever I fear

That which brought me fear
For I now see that You are here
And no danger can come near

Your spoken words to me
Pierce deep into my heart
I fear nothing instantly
Fully immersed in Your love

Life's not great 
Build the faith
