To Know God

To Know God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

O can someone know God?
Let there first be conviction 
By the Spirit of God 
Then cleansing and communion 

Without conviction of spirit 
There will not be any cleansing 
Without cleansing of spirit 
There can be no communion 

Let us all accept Christ 
Who has paid the full price 
For one and all our sins 
To bring us back to Him 

To walk with Him 
In Truth each day 
To abide in Him
In Mercy and Grace

Brings us in

Remain Still

Remain Still 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When funds are high 
Or bottom low 
When time is nigh
Or going slow 

When nothing seems 
To go as planned 
And the tall beams

Let God's Will 
Come aboard 

Things will fall 
Into place
When you call 
Upon Grace

So His Hand firmly hold 

You'll see His Light 
Shine brightly so 
And you'll take flight 
Winning the goal

If I do not read

Aim

Aim

Be without aim

And taken your sin and shame 
So walk closely and boldly with Christ 
Running purposefully in His Name 

Completing the race 
In His awesome Grace 
Bringing Him all Glory
And a smile to His face

Abide fully in Christ

Spiritually Numb

Spiritually Numb

Spiritually numb
But let your ears 
Be tuned in to hear 

When the Lord God speaks
And follow His lead 
Recognise His voice

Don't let your heart 
Become stony hard 

Lest you will 
No longer hear 
The Lord's Will 
Even though clear

Challenged with great storms 
But with God as the Head

Turn To God and Be Healed

Turn To God and Be Healed 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

There are people who hear 
But never understand 
For their ears barely hear 
Their hearts chosen a stand 

Their hearts have grown dull 
And their eyes are closed
Though they hear the Truth 
But their doors are closed 

If they would see 
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

Step of the way

When God Is There

When God Is There

O what is there
For you to fear 
When God is there

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

You persevered on 
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

God's Hand

So many times 
I've seen Your Hand

Become beautiful 
And the painful times 
Become wonderful 

Through Your awesome Grace 
And Mercy 
All for Your purpose

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?
Would we be in fear?
Would we still lose sleep?
Would we still lose cheer?

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

How Much?

How Much?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

How far?
How wide?
How low?
How high?

How much
Are you 
Willing 
To do?

For the deaf 
And blind 
For the dead 
And lost 

Bringing light 
For sight 
Bringing life
Through Christ

Be Strong In The Lord

Be Strong In The Lord

So messy
And the times are

Trust in the Lord's 
Mercy and Grace 

Noise Of The World

Noise Of The World 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When the noise of the world 
Becomes extremely loud 
And the noise so loud that 
It starts to drown things out 

Be careful not to allow 
The noise of the world 
To distract you from hearing 
The Lord's Voice and Word

Don't Let The Days Go To Waste

Don't Let The Days Go To Waste 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Don't let the days 
Go to waste 
But let your days 
Be in place 

Running the race 
According to God's plan
Letting His Grace 
Reach all souls in the land 

Don't let the days 
Go to waste 
The days are short 
So make haste 

Sharing the Word 
Throughout the world 
Let all the lost
Come to the Lord

Saved By Christ

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 With Christ 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Life is so beautiful 
With Christ in it 
The days are wonderful 
Through His Spirit 

The heart is peaceful 
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

And His Righteousness 
All shall be added to me

Let Faith Be Released

And times are tough 
When pain is deep

Which Path To Choose?

Which Path To Choose?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

What is the path  
That's best to choose?
Of course the one that surely wins 
And not the one where you will lose 

But which is the path 
That surely wins 
There's no other path 
Besides the King's 

The King of kings 
The Lord of lords
No one but Him 
Holds the true Sword

The Sovereign one 
In the entire universe 
The Almighty one 
Creator of the universe 

That is the path 
That you should choose 
Of Grace, Mercy and love

Sow the seeds of Truth
Let the roots grow deep

Opportunity in Difficulty

Opportunity in Difficulty
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not fear 
For the Lord God is with you 
Let the fear 
Disappear from within you 

Whatever difficulties you face 
Don't be disheartened 
In the Lord's awesome Mercy and Grace 
Be fully strengthened 

View the difficulties you face 
As opportunities instead 
Opportunities to show God's Grace 
To every soul out there instead

Keep Truth In Sight

Keep Truth In Sight 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Let not your heart
Be troubled by 
The rough and tough 
That do storm by 

But keep your eyes 
Fixed upon Christ 
Steer clear of lies 
Keep Truth in sight

Filled with God's Truth 
Grace and Mercy 
Shall bring you through 

All the troubles 
That come by 
Be it in the 
Day or night 

Grace He Sends

Grace He Sends
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The troubles come 
One after another 
Hitting so hard 
At a rapid fire 

The tears fall unceasingly 
As the pain strikes right through the heart 
Seeking for the Lord's Mercy
To face and overcome the rough 

On bended knees 
Prayers are sent 
He hears the cries 
And Grace He sends

Victory comes from His Hand
The pain eased by His great love 
In the Lord God firmly stand 
Trust in His true Word and love

Keep your eyes firmly 
Fixed upon Him 
Great Grace and Mercy 
Shall come from Him

God's Plan of Redemption

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

Trusting God's Plan

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu


I thank You, Lord God 

For all that You do 

Even when I do not see

Live in Faith

Live in Faith
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In God abide 
And let God be your help

Influence

Influence
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When you ignore 
The Lord's Word and presence 
And you choose to
Be independent 

You will minimise

Do not be prideful and stubborn
But be humble and obedient 
Allow God to fully govern 
This is a vital ingredient


Be Careful How You Live

And His Word obey 

Let your spirit 
Be led by God
Surrender fully 
And depend on God

No matter the circumstance 
Whatever He does never fails 
Move on forwards in praise and dance

The only way to gain it 
Is to abide in the Lord

Do not let 
What you go through 
Take you from

Discouraged 
But in the Lord
Be encouraged

Remain steadfast 
Until the end 
Keep to the path 
And do not bend

No meaning or worth 
For life comes
From Christ and His Word

Our every need
Even before we ask
You know what we need

We need not worry
For You are in control

We often forget
That You are there
Until we regret
Going away from Your care

To seek first Your Kingdom
And fully surrender
As we follow Your rhythm

There is no need to worry
All things shall be added unto us
As we seek first to carry
The cross made for us

Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual Maturity 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The degree of spiritual maturity 
Is measured by the difficulty 
Of stealing your joy and faith in the midst of
Great challenges and difficulties

The greater the spiritual maturity 
The harder it is to steal your joy and faith
But in order to gain greater maturity 
You must spend time with God and obey His Word

Running away from challenges
Will only impede your growth 
So best to face the challenges 
And thus let your spirit grow

Walking closely with the Lord 
Every step of the way 
Allowing the Lord to show 
His awesome Glory and Grace

What Comfort It Is To Know

What Comfort It Is To Know 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

What comfort it is to know 
That the Lord is here always 
With me in the rain and storm 
Keeping me safe in His Grace

What comfort it is to know 
That the Lord is in control 
Nothing can ever take away 
The Lord's sovereign rule and control 

What comfort it is to know
What the Lord did at the cross 
In Him I am eternally saved 
No longer bound, no longer lost

Who You Become

Who You Become
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not be focussed on 
Where you are going
Instead be focussed on 
Who you're becoming 

For it is not where you go 
Nor is it how high you go 
But what matters to the Lord
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

Best From The Worst

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 harm them 
Nothing can ever go wrong 

The Lord is in control of all things 
The beginning and end He determines 
His love and Grace for you unending 
The path that He leads is always a win 

You can trust Him in the fiercest storm
In the darkest night and deepest valley 
So remember where your strength is from 
Abide in the Lord and be still in Him

To live our lives

Through His Will

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

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

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

Always giving to God all 
The praise and Glory fully

He is the Light 
We obey Him because

He is worthy of praise 
We thank Him because 
Of His Mercy and Grace

Blessed Chinese New Year!

Greater

What lies ahead
Are greater days
Of what God said
Shall be His Ways

What lies ahead

Of what we get
To make the scores

What lies ahead

Of what we're set
To win and find

What lies ahead
Are greater finds
Of lost and dead
Now live and shine
