As The Day

As The Day
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As the day begins
With the rising sun
So my soul then sings
Praises to the Son

As the day moves on
I rely upon
The strength of my Lord
To bring His reward

As the day comes to an end
I lay my head on the pillow
Knowing that in the Lord's Hand
Nothing is deemed null or shallow

As the days reveal
The glory of the Lord
My life becomes real
Abiding in the Lord

New

New
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The rise of the morning sun
Brings another day
Of renewed hope in the Son
Living in His Way

The past is buried
The present made new
The future carried
His Glory revealed

Turned

Turned
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Your aching heart
Torn apart
Life's been so hard
Full of clouds

No way to turn
No way to hide
Too much hurt
Deep inside

Then He came
Into your life
Changed the lane
Renewed inside

Turned on the light
And made it bright
The wrong made right
The hurts subside

His love so tender
His Grace so true
Forever after
He cares for you

You Made

You Made
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You made
My heart right
You made
My mind bright

For all You've made
Without Thee
Nothing is made

Each Time

Each Time
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Each time I look up
I see Your lovely face
My heart lifted up
Filled with Your awesome Grace

Each time I think of You
Life becomes so beautiful
No one compares with You
So loving and merciful

Each time I wait upon You
I have a great sense of peace
Knowing I will hear from You
Whether in valleys or peaks

When and Then

When and Then

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When the time was short

When I could not float

When the tide was high 

Then You made me fly 

When the storm was great 

When evil was at the gate 

When the days were long 

Then You made my spirit strong 

When the soul was down 

When no clue be found

When the strength was low 

Then You made me grow 

When the end was near 

When there was great fear 

When time to change gear 

Then You took the steer 

Lack or Abundance?

Lack or Abundance?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

A lack of gratefulness
Due to arrogance
A lack of gentleness
Due to bitterness

A lack of kindness
Due to selfishness
A lack of genuine faith
Due to a doubtful state

A lack of love
Due to lust
A lack of life
Due to strife

The key to true abundance
Is to abide in the Lord
Living in obedience 
Faithful to His Holy Word

God Makes Right

God Makes Right
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

All the sorrows
And the hurt

He has kept

And all the wrongs
He makes right
For you belong
In His Light

Loosed

Loosed
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As the craze
Comes and goes
So the ways
Become cold

When the eyes
Look to greed
All the lies
Become seeds

Then the bonds
Become strong
And the chains
Become long

Only way
To be loosed
Is to pray
Curse removed

And to cut
Off the ties
So to part
From the lies

Let the mind
Be renewed
And the heart
Made anew

In the Lord
You abide
In His Word
Made alright

No need
To brush

Be still
And know
His Will
Will show

The Lord
Is mighty
He holds
Victory

Peace

Peace

Were bent
Your needs
You sent

Your hands
Were raised
The Lord
You praised

His Will
You sought
And peace
He brought

Shelter

Shelter
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The clouds come
And the sky dims
The storm comes
And the wind sings

Deafening the ears
Shaking the core
Bringing up your fears

You found a good cover
Full of might and power

A shield in times of trouble
Surrounded by peace and mercy
A place of warmth and comfort
In the arms of the Almighty

Use it to bless
And not to curse

Deep Care

Deep Care
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When my soul was low
You picked me up
When my pace was slow
You quickened them

When I ceased to know
You then came to show
When I failed to see

You already knew
You went before me
Providing for me

Your Grace and Love
Beyond compare
So evident
By Your deep care

Love Not Lust

Love Not Lust
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Sandwiched between
Love and lust
Nothing is there
Left to trust

Neither here nor there
Fell from high to low
No more love to share
Lust has over grown

One can't have both
Lust will only seek to choke
Turn back to God
His love covers as a cloak

Forgive and Let Go

Forgive and Let Go
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let forgiveness
Fill your heart 
Let bitterness
Be thrown out

Do not keep your frustrations
Bottled up
Release all the hurt inside

Let the past hurts be thrown
Just live in the present
Looking to the Lord's Throne

The Lord forgives
A repentant heart
We must forgive
Just as the Lord does

Open

Entering Your embrace
Let us abide in You

Made Right

Made Right
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The blazing heat
Too hot to bear
No wind to ease
No cooling air

The ground too hard
No green will grow
Too many hearts
Have grown so cold

Weighed down by life's
Concerns and cares
Distracted by strife
Happiness so rare

So full of darkness
In the absence of light
Seeking forgiveness
Hoping to make things right

None shall be found
By those with pride
A need to bow down
Be humble inside

The Lord accepts
A repented heart
Clearing sin debt
By Jesus' Blood
