The Finish Line

The Finish Line

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Have you ever felt 

That the finish line

Never gets nearer

But a further line 

I didn't understand at first 

But now I do understand why 

To keep a constant hunger and thirst

And keep my dependence on Christ 

To keep pride from coming in 

And build greater faith within 

To keep each step in

Perfect step with Him

It was for my own good 

To keep me going forwards

For where I have reached should 

Lead me to a place forwards

So with each step I go forwards

The finish line is made further 

For my dear Lord God wants 

To bring me much further

In God's Will & Way

In God's Will & Way

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Just like a child who cannot 

Handle a day on my own 

I run to my Father God 

Humbly each day to His Throne

To seek His Will

And plan for my life 

And to be still 

Abiding in Christ 

To hear His Word

And gain understanding 

To face the world 

And be firmly standing 

To learn from Him 

Deeply each day 

To know Him 

And His ways

That I may live 

In the right way 

Not by my own will

But by His always 

The Storms Will Come

The Storms Will Come

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The storms will come 

But do not fear 

Remain still and calm 

And let the Lord steer 

The storms will come 

With rain from above 

But keep your eyes

Fixed on the Lord's love

The storms will come 

With winds from the side 

You won't fall down 

When anchored in Christ 

The storms will come 

With floods from below 

But you won't drown 

Trusting in the Lord 

The Best

The Best 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

You left behind

All of the past 

In order to find 

What's truly the best 

And you found that

In Jesus Christ 

You will have 

The best life 

Especially when 

You submit to Him 

Fully abiding 

And trusting in Him 

Let

Let 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Let faith be found 

Deep in your hearts 

Let minds be sound 

Though life is hard

Let Truth go in 

And change your life

Let pride within 

Be set aside 

Let Christ come in 

And shine His Light 

Onto all things 

And make them right 

Let life be lived

In the smoothest flow 

With God's Spirit 

In the highs and lows

The Work

The Work 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The work plenty 

The hands weary 

Turn to the Lord 

Do not worry 

Trust fully 

In the Lord 

Stand firmly 

In full faith 

God will provide 

Power and might 

You will complete 

The work through Christ 

Words

Words

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

So many words

Were thrown at you

Some deeply hurt 

And damaged you 

The words went

Deeply in 

And you wept

From within 

So many words

Were thrown at you 

But don't let those words

Remain locked in you 

Be set free by

The Word of Truth 

Be rid of lies

Deceiving you 

Be defined 

By God's Word 

And not those 

Of the world
