Precious Hope

Precious Hope
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You hope for life
To take a turn
From gruesome strife
And great burdens

You hope that there
Will be a time
When all your fears
Are left behind

You hope that all
Your sin and shame
Be wiped away
Not seen again

You hope for winter
To turn to spring
Whatever bitter
Made a sweet thing

And when you found
That precious hope
Without a doubt
You took the road

To trust the one
And only hope
In God the Son
The Living Word

Inside the Heart

Inside the Heart
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Search your heart
What do you find?
Is it dark
Or is it bright?

Search your heart
What do you find?
Is each part
Loving and kind?

Search your heart
What do you find?
Is God's Word
Living inside?

Be Vigilant

Be Vigilant
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The enemy awaits
The opportune time
Quickly pounces to take
Away precious time

The enemy awaits
The opportune time
Quickly pounces to shake
The weak faith he finds

The enemy awaits
The opportune time
Quickly pounces to make
All souls fall behind

Be sober and vigilant
Do not fall behind
Be faithfully persistent
Victory you'll find

Much To Gain
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

It's not in vain
There's much to gain
When you've chosen

It's not in vain
There's much to gain
When life is lived
In the Lord's reign

Love, Not Hate

Hatred and revenge
Are the devil's trap

By God's love instead

Parable of the Two Sons

Parable of the Two Sons
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

There was a man with two sons
He went and told the first son
To go to work in his vineyard that day
His son said no, but later went anyway

To the second son
The man had also said the same
I'll go, said the son
But actions and words weren't the same

The first did
The will of the father
The second
Did not even bother

And likewise to those
Who believe and obey God the Father
They will have freedom
In heaven with Him forever after

Kneel Down

Kneel Down
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The devastation surmounts
For the messenger has come
No good answer can be found
If you just ignore or run

Everything in a lock down
In a hope to knock down
But no good answer can be found
If you do not kneel down

The message is clear
Let all ears clearly hear
Know whom you should fear
For the Lord holds the steer

Refreshing Water

Refreshing Water

The tough long days
Have made many weary
They push the pace
But strength left not any

Many wearied
Many dry
Many worried
Many cry

But the fountain
Of refreshing water
Comes for certain
From the Loving Father

To replenish all the lost strength
And to quicken the pace
To reach the very end of length
In the Lord's Might and Grace

Life's too hard
Don't worry
Lean on God

The Climb

The Climb
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Though the climb is
Indeed very steep
But keep your eyes
On the mountain peak

Though the climb takes up
All of your strength
Climb on, don't give up
Lean on God's strength

Seems so far away
It is indeed worth it
When lives are shown the Way

So persevere on
For the Lord's Kingdom
Let all souls be saved
And led to freedom

Still

Still

Though the winds blow hard
And the tide is high
Still you run the yard
And you do not sigh

Though the heat is great
And the help is late
Still you stand in faith
And patiently wait

And the nights are cold
Still you sing a song
Of praise to the Lord

Though the times are dark
And the end is near
Still you trust the Lord
And you do not fear

For the Lord
Will shield you from the storm

When you find it tough
For diamonds
Are made in the rough

The Past Redeemed

The Past Redeemed
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The past is done
But leaves you sore
You cannot run
Or even soar

It holds you back
With heavy chains
It shows your lack
And dark remains

To be set free
And found the Way
In God's Mercy

For His Son had borne
The wages of sin
So that you'll be born
Again right in Him

With mercy too

That evil spews

My Life and God

My Life and God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

My life is but
A story told
Of what I trust
And what I hold

That the Lord decides
And I stand tall
When in Him abide

Many

Many

Many souls be found
And less are lost
When one heeds the sound
To bear the cross

From their death in sin
For God's Son has paid
The price to redeem

Many hearts are caught
By deceptive lies
But when God is sought
His Word changes lives

From Dark to Day

From Dark to Day
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The Lord makes the sun shine
Brightly upon the disheartened
During their gloomy times
His Light brings joy and hearts lightened

The Lord makes the breeze
Blow gently bringing ease
To the pain inside
As His Love calms the tide

The Lord made the dark
Turn into glorious day
When He sent His Son
To wash our sins away
