Every

Every 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Every day of my life
You pour out Your love
I am ever so grateful 
For all that You've done 

Every gentle breeze 
You send to bring ease 
And so reminds me of 
Your wonderful peace

Every flower 
So blooms
To take away all
The gloom

Every rainbow 
In the sky 
To lace the sorrows
That come by 

Every time I smile 
Is because of Your joy 
Your great Mercy and Grace 
The reason I rejoice

In God's Light

In God's Light 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Much more than I
Could even imagine
You've filled my life 
With Your intentions

Every detail
You have brought to attention
That I may not fail 
To rise to the occasion

The twists and turns 
Shall not derail 
You keep me firm 
As I set sail 

The trail is clear 
In Your bright light
I have no fear 
To win the fight

The Lord, My Strength

The Lord, My Strength 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The Lord is my Father
And His joy is my strength
There is no other 
On whom I depend

His love is true 
His Grace is great
He is faithful
I give Him praise 

Though troubles nigh
To make me fall 
To the Most High
They are but small 

In Him I stand 
Firm and tall 
His Mighty Hand
Keeps me strong

Upon The Lord

Rest upon God's Word
And be at peace 
Stillness in your heart
And mind at ease 

Anchor upon God's love
His Mercy and Grace abound 
You will soar high above
Adversities on the ground

Abide in the Lord
Trust His Throne and Sword
In all things assured 
Victory secured

Experience

Experience
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

O No matter how hard I try
I would never be able to express
How important is the Most High
In my life and in every aspect

There is only so much
That can be told or written
But the ultimate touch
Is to experience Him

Abiding in Him
Is the only way
Trusting in Him
Smoothens the way

Perfected

Perfected
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I thank You, Lord for
The thorn in the flesh
That I would not
Ever forget

That in my weakness
I see my need for Jesus
And so my focus
Is fixed upon Your reason

In my weakness
Your power is perfected
And in gladness
I boast of Your perfection

Caring Father

Caring Father

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu


You care about 

Our every need

Even before we ask

You know what we need


We need not worry

For You are in control

You know our story

And we know Your role


You are our

Caring Father

Every single hour

You are there looking after


We often forget

That You are there

Until we regret 

Going away from Your care


Help us to remember

To seek first Your Kingdom

And fully surrender

As we follow Your rhythm 


There is no need to worry

All things shall be added unto us

As we seek first to carry

The cross made for us

Be Strong & Vigilant

Be Strong & Vigilant
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The enemy prowls around 
As a roaring lion 
Seeking someone to devour 
And bring to a silence 

The enemy prowls around 
As a roaring lion 
But do not let the loud sound 
Bring fear into your heart 

The enemy prowls around 
As a roaring lion 
So be vigilant and found 
To be strong as iron 

The enemy prowls around 
As a roaring lion 
Be wise, do not fool around
Turn to God for guidance 

The enemy prowls around 
As a roaring lion 
Remain steadfast in the Lord 
In Him, there is triumph

To Know My God

To Know My God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The storms have come
With great depth and length
I remain strong
For I know God's strength

The pain so stings
And the teardrops fall
But in my King
I stand firm and tall

The climb is tough
And the road is rough
But His Mercy
And Grace are enough

I do not regret
Taking this path
For with it, I get
To know my God

The Best Way

The Best Way 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The Lord's way is the best way
No other way will work
Refusal and stubbornness
Will only make things worse

The Lord's way is the best way
No other way will work
Hatred and mercilessness 
Do not bring any fruit

The Lord's way is the best way
No other way will work 
True loving Mercy and Grace 
Erases all the hurts 

The Lord's way is the best way
No other way will work
Repentance and righteousness
The only way forward

Strengthening To Be

Strengthening To Be 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The pain was far too great to bear 
Only to my Lord could I share 
In my darkest moment He was there 
To lift me up by His loving care 

And though my heart was torn 
In the midst of the raging storm 
Yet still my hands are raised 
To my loving Lord God in praise 

For whom else can I turn to 
But to my Lord, true and faithful 
Moulding and strengthening me to be
Just as Christ, righteous and holy
