Soothes all my pain

Crawls slowly along
In times
Of deepest despair

The fire ends
Without the Lord

So do remain
Steadfast in the Lord
And always aim
To obey the Lord

Parable of the Lost Sheep

Parable of the Lost Sheep
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

If a man has a hundred sheep
And one of them goes astray
Does he not leave the ninety-nine
To seek the one that has strayed?

He will rejoice greatly over it
Just as heaven would in joy leap
When one sinner repents of his sins

Parable of the Sower

Parable of the Sower
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Behold a sower
Went out to sow
In a hope that all
The seeds will grow

Some seeds
Fell by the wayside
Some seeds
The birds' stomachs find

Some seeds
Fell on stony places
Some seeds
In the thorny places

When the sun scorched
And the thorns choked
These seeds could not
Yield any crop

Only the seeds
Sowed on good soil
Will then proceed
To bring Him joy

Before it was too late
To place your trust in God
Was the best choice you made

Broad and easy
Lacks true mercy

Judgment

Judgment

The judgment due
Towards the wicked
But mercy still
Seeks the repented

Lord Almighty

Without the key
None is set free
Only His Mercy
Secures victory
