Turn To God and Be Healed

With their eyes

If they would hear 

With their ears 

If they would understand

With their heart 

And turn to the Lord, then 

They'll be healed

The Veil

The Veil

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

So hard it is

For one to come 

And truly see

The Christ, God's Son

Through the veil

That covers the eyes

And blinds them 

From the work of Christ 

So hard it is 

For one to see

The Truth that frees 

All men from sin 

Through the veil 

Of deceptive lies

Blinding them 

So that they may die 

Without receiving 

The gift of life 

That can only be 

Given by Christ

So let us bring 

The Truth to all

And remove the sting 

Of death from all 

Removing the veil 

From their eyes 

Bringing them into

The Lord's Light 

The Tough Climb

The Tough Climb

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The tough and lonely climb

Was too much for you to bear 

The peak to reach was high 

And no one around you cared

Looking unto Christ 

You kept pressing on 

Leaning upon Christ 

You finished the climb 

And finally reached the peak

You received your prize 

Through the Lord's Grace and Mercy

Found The Light

Found The Light 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You made your way

Through the thick fog

Not seeing the way 

You were in great doubt 

In need of light 

To shine your path 

In need of help 

To show the path 

You found the Light 

In the One called Christ 

Who is the Way,

The Truth and the Life 

You gave your life 

Fully to Christ 

And since then your life 

Was transformed through Christ

If We Truly Believed

If We Truly Believed 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

If we truly believed 

That God was almighty 

Full of Grace and Mercy 

So loving and lovely 

Would we still worry?

So if we truly believed 

Would we not walk boldly?

Would we not live cheerfully?

Would we not sleep soundly?

Why Do You Worry?

Why Do You Worry?

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Why do you worry?

Do you not know that 

The Lord's Glory 

Shines so brightly 

He sits on His Throne in heaven

And no one is above Him 

He sees everything on earth 

And not a thing escapes Him

He rules and reigns 

In full justice 

But He extends 

Grace and Mercy 

He sent His Son

To die for you 

And through His Son's 

Blood He saved you 

He cares for you 

More than you do 

And He provides for you 

More than you see and know

He will lead and guide you 

In all if you allow Him 

He will bless and lift you 

If you trust and obey Him 

He will protect you 

And never leave you 

He will always be with you 

So do not forget this Truth

Saved By Christ

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The Lord God Almighty 

Is loving and true 

Full of Grace and Mercy 

And absolute Truth 

The Lord God Almighty 

Sent His Son to save you 

Completed at Calvary 

Where Christ had died to save you 

But on the third day 

Christ rose from death 

And thus in that way 

You're saved from death 

Christ took the punishment 

Of death for all our sins 

That we may all be forgiven 

Completely of all of our sins 

When we repent of all our sins 

And accept Christ as Lord and Saviour 

Eternally we'll be with Him 

Abundantly in freedom and favour

Life With Christ

Life is so beautiful 

With Christ in it 

The days are wonderful 

Through His Spirit

Abiding in Him 

The path colourful 

Intended by Him 

Though darkness approaches 

From every side 

It quickly disperses 

In His awesome Light 

Though arrows are shot

To destroy the plans 

The arrows are caught

By His Mighty Hand 

The mountains high

The valleys deep

But with my Lord Christ 

The victories heap

As I seek first His Kingdom 

And His Righteousness 

All shall be added to me 

Through my Lord Jesus

That you should choose 

Of Grace, Mercy and love

God's Plan of Redemption

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When you believe the Lord's 

Plan of forgiveness and redemption 

Through the work of the Lord's 

Son, Christ, on the cross for atonement

And you receive the Lord's 

Amazing gift of Grace 

In trust through a prayer 

Of repentance in faith 

Then you shall gain

Eternal life in heaven 

In the Lord's Name 

You shall enter His Kingdom

Becoming one with Him 

Belonging solely to Him 

A precious child to Him

Unhindered access to Him

Do not be prideful and stubborn

But be humble and obedient 

Allow God to fully govern 

This is a vital ingredient

Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual Maturity 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The degree of spiritual maturity 

Is measured by the difficulty

In Him I am eternally saved 

No longer bound, no longer lost 

Who You Become

Who You Become

Do not be focussed on 

Where you are going

Instead be focussed on 

Who you're becoming

Is how much in Him you grow 

To grow more and more like Him 

Each and every single day 

To abide closely in Him 

And to follow all of His Ways

Easter

Blessed Easter & God bless you!

Easter

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Easter is the day

Where the Lord made

An eternal Way

For us to be saved

The death of Jesus Christ

By crucifixion

Was to pay the price 

For our redemption 

His atonement 

For our sin

Was His arrangement

For us to be forgiven

And His resurrection to life 

Was to grant us eternal life 

In His Kingdom 

Forever with Him in freedom

No More Barrier

Good Friday Poem

No More Barrier

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

O that blessed day

You gave us a way

To come close to You

When it torn in two

From top to bottom

The curtain tore

Our sins forgiven

Christ's shoulder bore

No more barrier

Between God and us

When God the Father

Gave us Lord Jesus

Remember Where Your Strength Is From

Remember Where Your Strength Is From 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not be disheartened 

Though the storms come fiercely 

Your life shall not be threatened 

For You are under Mercy 

The Lord protects His children 

Lifting them above the storm

Nothing can ever go wrong

His love and Grace for you unending 

The path that He leads is always a win

In the darkest night and deepest valley 

So remember where your strength is from 

Abide in the Lord and be still in Him

God's Will Be Done

God's Will Be Done

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Not my will 

But God's be done

I'll be still 

Until it's done

Patiently waiting

Upon the Lord

Completely leaning 

Upon His Word

Not my will 

But God's be done

Through His Will

His Kingdom come

By Faith, Not Sight

By Faith, Not Sight 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

I walk by faith 

And not by sight 

Walking in God's strength 

And not in my might 

Led by the Lord 

In Truth and Light 

With shield and Sword 

Leaning on Christ 

I am not afraid 

For God's by my side 

In Mercy and Grace 

I shall win the fight 

Unfair Fight

Unfair Fight

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

No one seems to 

Be on your side 

You fight alone 

Defending the Truth 

And stones are thrown 

At you causing hurt 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

Many against you 

Opposing what's right 

Disregarding Christ

And all of His Ways

Believing that Christ

Is not the right way 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

O yes, it is 

An unfair fight!

For it is not you alone 

Fighting against them

The Lord seated on His Throne 

Is on your defence 

Just like how David fought 

Against Goliath 

And everyone thought 

He would not triumph 

Victory was in his hand 

For he fought in the Lord's Name 

Victory is in your hand 

When you fight in the Lord's Name 

With Christ on your side 

It's not a fair fight 

There is no way for

You to lose the fight!

Do Not Give Up

Do Not Give Up 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The storms keep raging on 

The winds certainly fierce 

The nights are dark and cold 

The eyes are filled with tears 

The weight too hard to bear 

But God certainly cares 

Cast to Him all your cares 

He is able to bear 

His love shall lift you up 

His Grace is more than enough 

Therefore do not give up 

No matter how rough or tough 

Following Christ

Following Christ 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Following Christ 

May not be easy 

The troubles nigh 

But there is Mercy

May not be easy 

The path is tight 

But breath is easy 

Following Christ 

May not be easy 

The cost is high 

But it is worth it

Lure and Lies

Lure and Lies

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The enemy works

By luring and lying 

Don't let his words 

Deceive and destroy you 

The enemy lures and lies

That you may sin 

But there isn't any life 

Where there is sin 

Sin overpromises

And underdelivers

Only God's promises 

Actually delivers

The Answer

The Answer 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Where there is darkness

Let there be light 

Where there is weakness

Let there be strength

Where there is bleakness

Let there be hope 

Where there is illness

Let there be cure 

Where there is worry

Let there be peace

Where there is trouble 

Let there be ease 

Where there is death 

Let there be life

The answer to all

Is found in the Christ 

Paid By Christ

Paid By Christ

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

We owed a debt

We could not pay 

Christ paid the debt

He did not owe 

All for the sake 

To save our souls

He bled and died

To make us whole 

Wiped clean the debt 

There on the cross

Then rose from death

To counter loss

That we may be

Given true life 

Through His Mercy 

All was made right

Solution

Solution 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The world has many problems 

And peace is robbed from many 

In need of a solution 

For those in anxiety 

Sleepless nights aplenty 

Teary eyes incessant 

Desperately seeking mercy 

But a veil hides the solution 

Only one is the solution 

Christ, the one the Lord has chosen

Who brings peace and salvation 

Through Mercy and redemption 

A stumbling block to many 

Yet He is the Cornerstone

Without Him there will not be any 

Way to enter the Kingdom of God 

Let the veil be removed 

And many see the Light 

Let the hearts be moved 

And believe in Christ 

Turn To God

Along the way 

With His wisdom 

Through night and day 

So trust in Him 

And what He says

Submit to Him 

And walk in faith

No matter how rough the storm
