Catch the Lord

Catch the Lord

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Catch the Bread

For eternal life

Lest we be dead

And continue in strife

Catch His Word

Do not deny

For in His Blood

Nothing will run dry

Catch His Love

From Heaven above

To share to the people

His Love in His gospel

Catch the Light

That shines so bright

To give the blind sight

Into His Glorious Might

Catch the Lord

And obey His Word

Yield His Sword

In one accord

Catch the Lord Jesus

Do not let Him go by

For even blind Bartimaeus

Did not let Him just pass by

Catch the Lord

To the very end

For He is our God

Our beginning and end

The Art of Writing

The Art of Writing
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I never knew
How to start
Yet in You
It is a piece of art

These writings
Are Your sayings
That I am hearing
As I am praying

Your Words are so marvelous
And indeed so very precious
I constantly long to hear
From my Lord Jesus so dear

As I continue to daily
Walk in and through
This wonderful journey
Of living and writing with You

Salvation

Salvation
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Sin is to blame
For giving guilt and shame
A condemnation so real
Ignited by evil

The only solution
To remove condemnation
Is to receive salvation
By means of redemption

The sins by confession
And true repentance
Is the way to salvation
And eternal acceptance

The redemption is only
Paid by the price
Through a pure and holy
Chosen Lamb of sacrifice

Jesus is the anointed
Chosen one of God
To be the appointed
Lamb of God

Jesus is the only way
That leads to salvation
For only He can wipe away
All of the condemnation

Might

Might
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I come to a tight
And difficult juncture
Without help in sight
I am about to puncture

Yet at that moment
I continue to fight
Despite the torment
I trust in Your Might

For not by sight
But a walk in faith
That gives the light
And provides the aid

I continue to believe
For I know that indeed
In You, I shall receive
As I follow Your lead

For none is wiser
Nor greater in might
Than my Lord Jesus
Seated at the Father's right

Refuge

Refuge
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In constant pain I am
Yet to You I turn for relief
For You are the I AM
My only trust and belief

In all the attacks I face
I turn to You, Lord, for power
For the throne is Your place
And the battle is won over

You are my only hope
For no other can offer
True solution and strength to cope
To make all things proper

The weapons of the evil
Can never take me down
No matter what the kill
Facing You kneeled bowed down

For You are my tower and refuge
The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings
Nothing and no one can defuse
Whatever Your command brings

Shifted and Lifted

Shifted and Lifted
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Heaviness upon me
As I look around to see
The unwillingness of many
And the turning away from Thee

O I am burdened
And heavy laden
The tears flow
And downcast grow

But in an instant
Heaviness flee to a distant
For I am set free
As I set my eyes on Thee

My mind to Thee shifted
And my spirit in Thee lifted
Your Wisdom and Grace abounded
And the Victory in You granted!

I shall continue to labor
Even in toil and pain
Yet the struggle in Your favor
Is never in vain

The Author Of My Story

The Author Of My Story
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Though I do not comprehend
Why the sufferings abound
I remain steadfast to stand 
Firm until victory found 

God is the author 
Of my story 
And I accept His
Chosen story 

Although I hoped 
For an easier way 
But still I know 
His path is the best way

And thus I depend 
Upon His Grace
And am comforted 
In His embrace 

But God, I Trust

But God, I Trust
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The pain too much 
For me to bear
But God, I trust 
For He does care 

From when I first 
Took on His Name 
He quenched my thirst 
And took my shame 

He brought me from 
Darkness to light 
And gave me a song 
To show His delight 

Though evil comes 
To steal my joy 
Yet I become 
Stronger with joy 

For His Mercy and Grace
Abounds every day 
I shall finish the race 
Keeping His Word and ways

Though the pain is great 
And the road is rough
On God, I wait 
To make me tough

Though I do not 
Understand
I put my trust 
In His Hand 

For He is 
Faithful
And He is 
Able

Don't Let Doubts

Don't Let Doubts

Bring you down
Shut the lies out
Let Truth surround 

Don't let doubts
Bring you down
Let Grace surmount 
And joy be found 

In The Lion's Den

In The Lion's Den
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Just like Daniel
In the lion's den
Don't give in to fear 
Let not your faith bend 

Just like Daniel
In the lion's den
Let God be your shield
And rock of defence

Just like Daniel
In the lion's den
Be calm and still
Trust in God's Hand 

Just like Daniel
In the lion's den
God will reveal
His awesome plan

New Season

New Season
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The time is coming
When all things fade away
And the new is entering
Which will come to stay

The new season is dawning
As the old be fading
Make room for the season
And capture the reason

Will it be good?
There is no doubt that it should
As it most certainly would
For the Lord God is Good

There is no need to worry
Just let go and be merry
Cast your burdens to Him carry
To be light and not weary

For the roof of the old season
Shall be the floor of the new story
As you step into His new reason
And grow from glory to glory

O Such Beauty

O Such Beauty
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

O such beauty
A wonder to me
There is none in all eternity
As beautiful as Thee

O such beauty
My Lord God Almighty
So Perfect and Holy
The absolute Truth and sovereignty

O such beauty
Indeed You are so lovely
A Love so complete
That will never deplete

O such beauty
No words are worthy
To describe the beauty
Of Your Grace and Mercy

His Joy

His Joy
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Amidst the adversity
A smile on my face must be
Regardless of the calamity
It shall all be made right for me

No matter what the circumstance
His joy remains my stance
For defeat will have no chance
And sorrow will be of no sense

His Joy is my strength
To endure whatever depth or length
My joy overflows the brim
As I cast my concerns to Him

In Jesus my burdens are lifted
And all my circumstances shifted
For He holds all the authority
And indeed the everlasting victory

Adversities

Adversities
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

All throughout this life journey
I had encountered many storms 
But God's wonderful Mercy 
Showed me that I was not alone 

The extremely deep valleys 
Were too difficult for me 
But God's amazing Grace 
Gave me the strength to face 

Though far too many troubles 
Kept coming along my way 
But knowing God is able 
Kept me strong to not cave 

Until I reach the finish line
I know adversities will come 
But great peace and joy I shall find 
As I abide in God as one

Am I able?

Am I able?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What am I able to do?
On my own indeed
Jesus, without You
There can be no deed

Am I able to see?
Without Your Eyes
There will definitely be
No vision in the skies

Blind with no goal
Nor direction to follow
Emptiness in the soul
Pouring tears of sorrow

Am I able to hear?
Without Your Voice
Nothing will be clear
To make the right choice

Am I able to think?
Without Your Wisdom
My mind would wander
In aimless boredom

Am I able to live?
Without Your Life
My heart would grieve
Heavy with strife

Am I able to breathe?
Without Your Breath
My breath would cease
And surely end in death

Am I able without You?
Most certainly not, Lord
For what can I do
On my own accord

The Son

The Son
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Walk to the Light
The Bright Shining One
Standing right in sight
Behold, He is the Son

Such beauty and wonder
From near to yonder
No other can ponder
All the Son's splendour

Will you allow
Yourself to delight
In the shadow
Of the Son's plight

Do you believe
That you may receive
Forgiveness and peace
His Righteousness appease

There is no other
Who can gather
The flock together
Towards the Father

Only in Him
The Glorious Son
To dwell within
And be as one

Who is this One
Amazing Son
None other than Jesus
The Holy Son

Like No Other

Like No Other
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

My dear Lord Jesus
The Master Creator
There is no other
Whose Rule is greater

The seas may rage
And the thunders roar
But with You, Lord
I will soar

My strength may fail
As I face war
But in You, Lord
I will go far

The world may hate
And make me fall
But through You, Lord
I will stand tall

My tears may fall
Like a large downpour
But for Your purpose
I will fight for

The heat may melt
The cold may freeze
But Your Love is felt
Like a soft warm breeze

My dear Lord God
Most Loving Father
Your Mercy and Grace
Is like no other

The Only Way

The Only Way
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would sway

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would be in dismay

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I've nothing to display

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would decay

What I can do
Is to say
That Jesus is Lord
And the only Way

Reveal the Hope

Reveal the Hope
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Where is the hope?
When does it come by?
Can it be found
By those who cry?

Will they ever find
The hope of life
If it is not revealed
To those in strife

Does silence ever find
Its way into the lives
Of those who seek to find
The hope for their lives

Will you be the salt and light
For Jesus to be revealed
In those whose plight
Is to unveil the concealed

Let your light so shine
That it may reveal the hope
In Christ Jesus to the lives
Who seek and grope

Be the one who picks up
The fallen and lost
Directing their path
To what they hope most

What can I

What can I
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What can I produce
With the work of my hands
If my Lord Jesus
Is not giving the commands

What can I deduce
With the thoughts of my mind
If my Lord Jesus
Is not there to define

What can I become
In this lifetime
If my Lord Jesus
Is not removing the grime

What can come out
Of my circumstance
If my Lord Jesus
Is not holding the stance

What can I aspire
To bring forth
If my Lord Jesus
Is not directing me north

What can I do
To save my life
If my Lord Jesus
Did not remove the strife

God's Refining Skill

God's Refining Skill
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The storm has come
With the high tide
Tossing and turning
With no where to hide

The heat of the desert
Is rising within
Melting my heart
Changing the scene

Destroying the pride
Clearing the sin
Humbling my soul
Purifying within

He directs me north
As the cloud clears
That I may go forth
Overcoming my fears

Building my spirit
In line with His Will
Grateful am I for
God’s refining skill

Who Can Compare

Who Can Compare
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Can there be anyone
Who can compare
To the Father with
Such great a love to share

Can there be anyone
Who can compare
Whose Own Son
He did not spare

Can there be anyone
Who can compare
To Jesus the Holy Son
Our sins His shoulder bear

Can there be anything
That can compare
With such a loving way
To demonstrate His care

Can there be anything
That can compare
With such a Grace
To negate eternal despair

My Guide

My Guide
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Often I wonder
Should I go yonder?
Would it be sounder
As I ponder?

Let it be clear
Which path to take
I trust You to steer
As I face the stake

Jesus, You are my Lord
And Your commands I obey
I delve in Your Word
And constantly pray

You are my Guide
For only You are right
In You I abide
Living in Your Light

Trust

Trust
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Would you rather place your trust 
On the things that do not last 
Which would so dwindle or rust 
And be a thing of the past?

Would your rather place your trust 
On what the world has to say 
Than on the Word of Truth 
That the Lord has to say? 

Would you rather place your trust 
On the things so uncertain?
Would you not rather trust 
In God's Word that's been proven?

In All Things

In All Things
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let hearts be calm 
In Your loving arms 
Let tears be gone
As we sing Your psalms 

Let joy be full
As we abide in You 
Always peaceful 
Walking closely with You

Let minds be strong 
To follow You
Things won't go wrong
When led by You

In all things
We submit to You 
Let all things
Bring Glory to You

Full Trust In

Full Trust In
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Some trust in horses
And chariots
Some trust in machines 
And gadgets

Some trust in 
Their own strength and devices
Some trust in 
Preposterous opinions

But nothing compares
To the Lord God Almighty
I place my full trust
In His Word, Grace and Mercy

Only By God

Only By God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Since I can only do 
What the Lord empowers to do 
What fear is there for me 
Going in His Grace and Mercy

Since I can only have 
What God has given me 
Then all that I am and have 
Is surely enough for me 

Since I can only be 
What God has chosen to be 
Shall I not embrace it 
And fulfil my destiny

Since I can only see 
What the Lord allows me to see
Then what I do not see 
Is not necessary for me 

Since I can only know 
When walking closely with Him 
Then I desire to grow 
Intimately close to Him

No Fear

No Fear
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I have no fear 
For I know that
My God is here 
And has my back 

I have no fear 
For I know that 
God holds the steer 
And knows the path 

I have no fear 
For I know that 
When God is here 
I have no lack 

I have no fear 
For I know that
When things aren't clear
God knows what's best 

I have no fear 
For I know that 
Though troubles appear 
God keeps me on track 

I have no fear
For I know that
Though enemies come near 
God shields me from attacks

I have no fear 
For I know that 
My God has cleared 
All my sin debt

I have no fear 
For I know that 
Though end is near 
God's Word will last

Heavenly Father

To those who repent

His divine protection
And you can trust 
His awesome direction 

Firm Trust

Firm Trust 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The days are dark 
And dreary 
The hearts are dull 
And weary 

So dark the days 
In need of light 
To pave the way 
And bring good sight 

Let hearts be strong 
And minds be clear 
To face the storm 
Until it clears 

On bended knees
Let pleas be sent 
God's Grace and Mercy
Shall greatly be sent

No road too tough 
For one to take 
When trust in God 
Is firmly placed

Anchored

Anchored
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Forgive me, Lord
For all my sins

To cleanse me within 

Keep me anchored 
Upon Your Word 
Always centred
Never deterred 

Let me not 
Go astray 
Keep me, Lord
Strong and safe

Go Or Stay

Go Or Stay
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

There are times when God gives
The faith to go 
But other times He gives
The Grace to stay

Either way
You will see 
That His Way
Is the best 

Trust in Him 
All the way 
Be it whether
To go or stay 

War Drums

War Drums
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The war has started
Do you see it?
The drums have sounded

Do you hear it?

The war to snatch 
The very elect 
Be sure to catch 
God's call to come back 

The heavenly war drums
Have started beating 
I hear it, I hear it 
Do you hear it?

The war drums beat 
To God's Heartbeat
I can feel God's Heartbeat 
I feel it, I feel it

The end is here 
But do not fear 
The Lord God's heart is waiting 
For the elect to come near
