The Time Will Come

The Time Will Come 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

There will come a time 
When you will be set free 
All will be fine
By the Lord's great Mercy 

Before that time 
Comes to pass
You may just find 
It so tough 

But do not give up 
Keep the faith and hope 
When the time is up 
You will see the Lord 

Turn things around
By His great Hand 
So be still and calm 
Trust in the Lord's plan

Year's End

Year's End
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

A year has gone by 
And now at its end 
I have suffered and tried 
But still joy is its end 

The greatness of my Lord 
Is what I have seen 
His glory and honor 
Is all that it's been 

Grateful for the trials 
Thankful for His Grace 
I will go on with a smile 
In whatever I face

Safe In The Lord

Safe In The Lord
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In the day or night 
Be it tears or fights 
The Lord's great light 
Makes all things right 

In the chaos and clamor 
I have great peace and no fear 
For in the Lord's armor 
No attacks can come near 

Asleep or awake 
I know I am safe 
In the arms of the Lord
Full of Mercy and Grace

Not A Thing

Not A Thing
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Not a thing
Is worth the while
When the King
Has not a smile

You do not ask

Not a thing
Be found to last
But His Word
Is first and last

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 revealed to me

When I needed You
You already knew
You went before me
Providing for me

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

Entering Your embrace
Let us abide in You
Forever in Your Grace

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

Your Place

Your Place
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Heavy steps in both your feet
As you walked with great sorrow
You could no longer bear it
Shunning to face tomorrow

Not a thing went right
Everything tumbling down
You were losing sight
Your face burdened with a frown

Your mind distracted
Your steps retracted
You were disheartened
Your soul so saddened

You turned to the Lord
And He gave you His Sword
Piercing through your heart
Removing all the hurt

Your steps were lightened
As your soul was lifted
No longer frightened
Your perception shifted

Equipped with His wisdom
Empowered by His Grace
Fighting for the Kingdom
Victory is your place

Cleared

Cleared
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The plans
Were too rushed
The words
Were too harsh

The hurt
Was too deep
The nights
Without sleep

The winds
Were too strong
The days
Were too long

Was too much
The pain
Was too great

The sun
Was too hot
The Son
Then you sought

His Hand
Took the steer
All then
Became clear

Choice

Choice

Make the right choice
Don't simply receive
Listen to God's voice

That I was born again 
Into the Kingdom 
I certainly gained

To be made one 
And to never lack

Abundant each day 
Keeping me boldly 
Walking in His Ways

So I'm safe and whole

He loves me so much

Indeed to have such
A mighty and awesome Dad!

The beauty of His love 
So awesome to behold 
The sprinkling of His Blood 
Made us all clean and whole 

Though seated high above 
He came to us below 
He is always with us

Without needing a phone 

To make us strong and tough 
He led us through fire and cold 
His Grace is enough 
For us to march on

Reach your goal
Trust in His Words

Have Enough Fear To Be Wise

Have Enough Fear To Be Wise
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu  

Have enough fear to be wise 
But not too much to paralyse
Have enough fear to be wise 
But not too much to cause demise 

Have enough fear to be wise 
So that you may grow and rise 
Have enough fear to be wise 
Don't neglect the fear inside 

Have enough fear to be wise 
Before you run out of time 
Have enough fear to be wise 
And make the most of your time 

Have enough fear to be wise 
But not in your own eyes 
Have enough fear to be wise 
In the Lord's Truth and eyes

Have enough fear to be wise 
And be rid of all pride
Have enough fear to be wise 
Seek the Lord for advice 


Best Decision

Best Decision

There are no regrets
Following Jesus 
Indeed the best 
Life decision

Of sorrow so deep

To live this life 
But in His Way 
Of Truth and Light 

A narrow path 
So straight and true 
And without lack 
To make it through

Mercy and Grace
Abundantly placed 
For those who race 
For His Kingdom's sake

To build a strong foundation

Nothing would harm
As I live in Your Arms
Sheltered and safe
In Your wonderful Grace

Breaks the silence of night
And the turmoil

And turmoil becomes calmer
The day becomes much brighter
Dispersing darkness farther

Strong Foundation

Strong Foundation

Of the Son 
Can't be shaken 
Or undone

So place your trust in
The Son
Abiding in Him 
As one

The Day

The Day
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Once there was a girl
Who did not know the Lord
Her life was in a twirl
Not knowing the Word

Everytime the Word was sown
The evil one snatched away
She was left all alone
Wasting her life away

But finally a day came
For her to be called
To be rid of the shame
And cleansed from it all

Flooded in tears
Accepting the Word
Rid of the fears
Knowing the Lord

So gone are the days
Walking the path alone
Now anchored in His Ways
Bringing Glory to His Throne

And shine His light

In His Hand
On the Lord
I depend

In or Out

In or Out
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The way of the Kingdom
Has no in between
You will be in freedom
When you follow Him

Things are either black or white

Live in faith or be in fright

You are either here or there
In the Kingdom or out there
Make a choice as to where
Lay your foot and stay there

Go Far

Go Far

Do not live in the past
For it has now gone
No matter what it was
It's not carved in stone

The past is only a part of you
It does not dictate who you are
Your life is what's ahead of you
Do not be stuck but go on far

The Lord determines your path
No matter how tough it was
A pearl was made in the rough
It did not become a loss

It's not about what was in the past
Or how you started your journey
What matters most is how at last
You bring to God all the Glory

Beautiful

Beautiful
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

During those times of trouble
Numbed were my senses
I did not see any beauty
I could not give much praises

I struggled through those times
Not knowing how to get through
But I have seen that in every time
You were the One who got me through

Finally reaching the other side
I see all things beautiful
Although still in a bumpy ride
My senses are now full

O how much I have missed
Along the rough and tough way
But now I shall never miss
Rejoicing and praising You every day 

Though the trials and challenges remain
But my heart and mind have transformed
Fully steadfast and determined to aim
That of which You desire of me to become

Righteous path 
Always in Your 
Gracious plan

For I have learned a great lesson

So I shall live happy
To the end of length

Strong in Your stand

The challenges had brought me
To see Your wonderful Glory

The Inner

What beauty is there 
Beyond the eyes
If one does not care

That of the inner

Let minds be pure 
And hearts be true 
In faith mature 
And grow in Truth

Trust in Jesus
And not the world

He will guide you
If you ask Him
He will show you
When you seek Him

The Light

A door opens slowly
Revealing a dark room
This room is completely
Filled with doom and gloom

In the Light
Do not mope
Or be in fright

Reach out to the Light
And your burdens become light
Embrace its righteous plight
And your life will be made right

Every step is a step towards
Your wonderful plan of love
My life is enriched by Your Word
Nothing more I desire as much

Let there not be 
Any room for offence 
But let hearts be

At peace in God instead

Let there not be 
Any cause to resent
But let hearts be 
Repentant and content

True Hope

True Hope
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The tears fall like heavy showers of rain 
The heart sore from all the sorrows and pain
With evil seeping into each corner 
The path is getting tougher and rougher

But behind the thick dark clouds 
There is a Savior of great valor 
Without a shadow of doubt
A mighty yet merciful Ruler

In Him there is true hope 
For all the blind who grope
Desperately to be 
Eternally set free

For He is the Way, 
Truth and Life 
In no other Name 
Is there life

Be cleansed and made whole in God

I Praise You

I praise You in the good times
And most certainly in the bad times

And through all the threatened frights

I praise You in the stormy seas

You being my only source of peace

I praise You in the darkest hour
And the times of greatest showers
I praise You for You are my master
And my heart shall love no other

The Great One

The Great One
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The steep climb up the hill
Feels like a tonne of weight
But my heart remains still
Depending on the One so great

Charging forwards without fright
Walking in His awesome might

Shine

Shine
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As tears trickle down
The face of the fallen
With no love to be found
And the heart has sunken

Hoping for the darkness
To forever disappear
In search of loving kindness
To cast out the fear

Would you be the light
That shines so bright
Bringing to plain sight
The one true Light

For no hope of life
Is found elsewhere
But the One who gives life
From His breath of air

Reveal the hope
And remove the veil
Do not allow
Evil to prevail

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

A soft whisper I hear
In the chaos of the night
Making my mind clear
Bringing vision to my sight

So very clear

For I now see that You are here
And no danger can come near

Your spoken words to me
Pierce deep into my heart
I fear nothing instantly
Fully immersed in Your love

Build the faith

Woven

Woven
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I could never have imagined
Where this path would lead me
I had to be very determined
Because it indeed was not easy

It was disruptively tough
And at times chaotically rough
But I had never once regretted
Walking down this chosen path

The path that my Lord had chosen
Was indeed the best for me
It was all wonderfully woven
To make the best of me

Live By The Word

Live By The Word
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

If you live by your feelings 
And not by the Word of God
Things won't be smooth sailing 
And create much discord 

If you live by your feelings 
And not by the Word of God
Life won't be pleasing
In the sight of God

If you live by your feelings 
And not by the Word of God
You are preventing
Blessings from God

If you live by your feelings 
And not by the Word of God
You won't be gaining
But end up with loss 

Exactly

Exactly

When to answer your prayer

Trust Him fully 
Be still and calm

The Right Time

Though you pray 
Day and night 
Still things stay

Still things stay 
Wrong not right 

Though you pray 
Day and night 
Still things stay 
Tough and tight

God knows best 
The right time 
Be at rest 
In His time 

Pray and wait 
For the time 
It won't be late 
Things will be fine

Reach

Reach
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As the rain falls on the just and unjust
The sun rays burst through for the poor and rich
The Lord is an awesome God to trust
One full of Grace and Mercy at reach

As the birds fly and twitter so
The flowers bloom and then go
Let not our hearts turn icy cold
But be filled with love and become gold

There are still many who are lost and cast down
Spread the Word of Truth for their joy
That they may enter the door to the Kingdom
And escape the pit of evil ploy

Your Presence

Your Presence
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In the early quiet morning
I wake up in Your peace
All the past mourning
Have all left and ceased

Your very presence fills my heart
A warmth so gently and soft
I am so glad to be a part
Of Your wonderful plan of growth

I hear Your voice so very clearly
Guiding my every thought and move
To bring You honor and glory
Marking out every single groove

O where shall my feet bring me?
What is the line of my story?
What else should my desire be
But to be ever close to Thee

How Are You?

How Are You?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I came home after a very long day
To find that I was pleased
Filled with Your joy throughout the day
My heart was rejoicing in Your Peace

My Father, how are You?
I suddenly asked aloud
Has anyone asked You?
My thoughts dispersed the clouds

Sitting on the floor that night
I wondered how You felt
Were things here on earth good in Your sight

Steady

Steady
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Little did I know
The big things You had in store
From one with nothing to show
To that of much to explore

I thought it was far from here
Way up yonder
But it seems to appear
Up front and closer

Concerns of being ready
Come to my mind
But I can be steady
For with You, it shall be fine

Be Encouraged

Be Encouraged
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not fall into
The pit of despair 
Know that the Lord
Truly does care 

Be encouraged
For the Lord is great 
Look to the Lord's
Love, Mercy and Grace

Always With Me

Always With Me
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

All alone in the quiet dark night
I saw all the things gone by
That of previous sorrow and fright
The ups and downs of my life

Yet not alone was I that night
When You came to sit by my side
I knew that it was not just that night
But You were with me all the time

Pure and wise 
Always seeking
Your advice

All count for You 
Bringing always 
Glory to You

Seek The Lord

Seek The Lord
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When you don't
Know what to do 
Seek the Lord
On what to do 

Do not rely on
Your own wisdom
You may end up with 
Wrong decisions

What must be done 
And He gives Grace 
To get things done 

Trust in Him 
And seek His Way 
For there is
No better way

Storms

Storms

Storms may come 
For a reason
Don't miss God's 
True intention

To test your faith 
Remain calm 
Don't be afraid 

Storms may come 
In many forms 
Don't give up 
Trust in the Lord

Let The New Flow

Let The New Flow
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let the new wine 
And oil flow 
Renew the mind 
Let Grace show

Be ready for 
The new things 
God has in store 
Much more things 

Than you can even
Think or imagine
Enter the new season
Without hesitation

Trust the Lord
In all things 
Release the old 
Before it stings 

In Times Of

In Times Of
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In times of difficulty
I see Your Mercy 
Whatever difficulty
You'll get me through it

In times of inadequacy
I see Your providence 
You meet the needs adequately
In all situations 

In times of desperation
To You, I am dependent
Only in You situations
Become an open heaven

Your Word

Your Word
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

If I had not read Your Word
What could I possibly have seen?
I would be utterly lost in this world
And not become who I should have been

If it were not for Your Word
What could I even have learned?
I have neither shield nor sword
Nothing could I have earned

If I had not listened to Your Voice
What would I have now become?
I would have made the wrong choice
And be far away from Your Kingdom

Valuable To God

Valuable To God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You are valuable to Me 
Let no one breed despise in you 
Do not heed the lies 
Know that I love you 

Have I not given you My Son
To save you from your misery
That you'll always be in My arms
Forever in Grace and Mercy

Change

Change
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Often times many hope 
That circumstances around them change 
But more often than not
They will find that nothing seems to change

Though they earnestly
Pray each day 
Why don't things ever 
Seem to change 

Perhaps it's not the outside
That needs to change 
But more about the inside 
That requires change

A shift in perspective
Is what is needed 
Look from God's perspective
And you'll gain from it 

A transformation of heart 
Is of much greater value
Be steadfast and be a part 
Of what God has planned for you

The Search

The Search 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Searching high and low across time 
There comes a mountain to climb
O What lies behind?
Is there a treasure to find?

What are you looking for?
Is it really worth the chore?
Will it save your soul?
Is it able to secure it all?

The door has opened 
Your heart has to decide 
Would you rather be burdened
Or in God abide?

Journal of My Life with God 8

Journal of My Life with God 8
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I could not imagine
What this life would bring
I just needed to be determined
To remain steadfast in my King

What a wonderful life journey
Despite hills and storms all topsy turvy
For I had walked through the valley
In His amazing Grace and Mercy

All these I have kept
In these journals of seven
Now I embark on the eighth
Anticipating an open heaven

To Those Who Believe

To Those Who Believe
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The days go by 
And many cry 
The rivers dry
And stakes are high

The heat is great 
And the climb is tough 
Too hard to take 
And many give up 

To those who believe 
There is much peace 
For they have received
The Prince of Peace 

Whatever comes by 
They do not cry 
For they trust in God 
The Lord Most High

His Hand is great 
And love is true 
He gives much Grace 
To make life full

Sealed

Sealed
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Like a gentle breeze caressing my soul
My wounded heart was healed
Erasing the misery of each downfall
Your Love and Grace sealed

You placed a song in my heart
Filling me with Your Peace
Always with me from the start
Your Presence never ceased

Let Go

Let Go 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

After a long stormy day 
The whole of yesterday
Today dawns into a lovely 
Hot and bright sunny day 

Let life be like so 
Learn how to let go 
And let the dark bitter days
Be replaced with joy and faith 

Don't hang onto
The things of the past 
Move on and rise to 
Higher grounds instead

Submit all things 
To God, your King 
You'll see how much
Release it brings

Have Faith And Believe

Have Faith And Believe
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let not your hearts be hardened
To the voice of Almighty God 
Be rid of all rebellion 
Submit fully to the Lord God 

Let not unbelief
Be a snare to your life 
Have faith and believe 
For the Son gives true life 

There's no other way 
To have life and be saved
Do not go astray 
Be steadfast to His Way

Extreme

Extreme
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Whatever my portion be
I shall take it willingly
For how can I say no to Thee
Since You do not forsake me

No matter how bitter the cup
How can I not taste or drink
For You have made my life cleared up
From all filth and sin within

No matter how rough
The bumpy road may seem
You have made me tough
To overcome all extremes

God Is The Potter

God Is The Potter 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

God is the potter 
I am the clay
My loving Father 
Knows the best way 

He will mould and make me 
According to His Way 
By His Grace and Mercy 
I will go a long way

The Gift In You

The Gift In You 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Everyone in the body of Christ 
Has a gift needed for the Kingdom 
So arise and take up the cross of Christ 
Don't allow your gift to be dormant 

Stir up the gift in you 
Do not be intimidated 
God has empowered you 
Trust in what He has decided 

The gift in you is for 
The profit of all 
Courageously go forth 
Answering your call
