Not Shaken

Not Shaken

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Even if the earthquakes

Come to massively shake

Even if the blizzards and storms 

Are raging at every place 

Remain steadfast and calm

Do not at all be shaken

You are safe in God's arms 

So let your heart be gladdened 

Knowing that 

God is with you

And He will

Never leave you

With your soul completely still

Keeping your eyes fixed on the Lord

Lean Upon The Lord

When the days 

Are dark and gloomy

And the weight 

Is far too heavy

Kneel and pray 

Stay in faith 

To the Lord

Cast the weight 

When the times

Are evil and wrong

And the lies 

Going around strong 

Turn your mind 

To the Lord

And you'll find 

His great Sword

When the walls

Are crashing down 

And the fall

Will drag things down 

Lean upon 

The Lord's strength and Grace

And all things 

Shall be firmly placed

For a break 

Run to God 

And embrace

His awesome

Strength and Grace

Open Your Eyes

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Your life is dark 

And gloomy

Because your heart 

Is empty 

You could not find 

Any joy in life

Any hope but lies 

Circling all around you

Keeping you from seeing 

The much needed Word of Truth

To give your life meaning

Do not heed any of the lies 

Just open up your eyes 

Allow yourself to see and know 

The Lord who loves you so 

He'll fill your empty heart 

With His wonderful love 

Setting you free from bondage

Into His Mercy and Grace

No harm shall 

Come to me 

His Hand shall

Protect me

That the Lord has chosen for me 

With full trust in Him

Have a Blessed New Year!

The Year

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

One year has gone 

And another to come

Never shall I be alone

For Your Glory has come 

O what a journey 

It has been the past year

I appreciate most the valleys

Though they bring such tears

Closer to You

Have I become

Knowing more of You

Indeed quite a sum

Yet still I know 

There is more to come 

I am excited to see, my Lord 

Your Kingdom come!
