Way of the Kingdom

Way of the Kingdom
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

This is the way
Of the Kingdom
It is the only way
To true freedom

To go higher
You must go lower
To be wiser
You must suffer

In order to grow
You must throw
In order to flow
You must sow

To be happy
You must not envy
To receive
You must give

To be alive
You must die
In order to die
You must self deny

In order to deny
You must try
In order to be the best
You must take the test

To be the highest
You must be the lowest
To be the greatest
You must be the least

Become Lovely

Become Lovely
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Darkness all around 
Many groan and frown 
Restlessness abound 
Helplessness surmount

The times are difficult
And challenging 
But do not be without 
Strength from the King 

There is no other
Greater in might 
Even the darkest night 
Becomes bright in His Light 

Righteous and powerful
Gracious and merciful
Nothing escapes His sight 
All things shall be made right

In the Lord there is
Only great triumph
Cast away worries 
Be still and quiet 

Submit to Him 
And you shall see 
How life in Him 
Become lovely

Hearing

Hearing
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You do not hear
From the Lord
When you do not fear
His Word

You cannot
Hear from the Lord
When you do not
Know His Word

Read His Word
And know the Lord
This will bring you toward
His intended reward

Sermon That Counts

Sermon That Counts
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The sermon on the mount
Is truly a sermon that counts
Let us follow without doubt
And not apply any discounts

This sermon by the Lord
Truly depicts His Heart
For His every Word
Pierces through the heart

Let us follow
His Word wholeheartedly
That we may grow
Deeper spiritually

The Word of Truth

The Word of Truth
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The Word of the Lord
Is wonderful and true 
But many do not
Accept it as the Truth

The Word of the Lord
Is offensive to those who reject it 
But the Word of God 
Is appealing to those who accept it

They reject the Word 
Because they hate it
Those who accept the Word
Most certainly love it

There is rejection
Because of confliction
There is acceptance
Because of agreement

Who follow

Without any doubt

Blessed are the saints
Who charge forward
Without fear or complaints
To bring the Lord His reward

The Lord Wins

The Lord Wins
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Just as the rain drops fall
So my tears do flow
But I shall rise from the fall
As my faith in You grow

As I face the fight
I trust in Your Might
I shall not be in fright

Remain Forever

Remain Forever

I couldn't stand the pain
I didn't want it to remain
But despite all the pain
With the Lord God I shall remain

Nothing else really matters

And so I shall remain forever 

There is no one greater or better 
Than my loving Heavenly Father 
Whatever He decides for me 
I shall accept it willingly


Shelter

Shelter

Though weapons form against me 
None of them shall prosper 
For the Lord God is with me

Though the chaos around me 
Get rougher and louder 
But I hear God's voice clearly 
Even though a whisper 

And even though a whisper 
My spirit becomes stronger 
The burdens become lighter
And the path becomes brighter

In the Lord's shelter 
I shall remain forever 
For He's my Father 
When I gave my life over

From His Throne

From His Throne
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The flesh so groans
From the heat and pain 
As it toils on 
Through the bumpy lane 

And though the soul 
Feels so burdened 
Let not the soul
Become hardened 

Let the spirit spring forth 
As a great fountain 
And the flesh be clothed 
With strength of mountains

As you place your faith 
Upon God's Word 
You'll see His Grace 
Come straight toward

Not left alone 
To face the war 
But from His Throne
You'll make the score

Bread of Life

There is no other way
For I have read
That Jesus is the only Way
So we must eat His Bread

Pride or Sacrifice

Pride or Sacrifice

Only the Lord Jesus
Can pay the price
By His Blood so precious
As an acceptable sacrifice

Let Go of the Past

In store for you 
Let go of the past 
Embrace the new

Bringing them all 
Before they fall 
Into the call 
To be made whole

As I take this rough bumpy ride 
In You I fully abide 
To overcome whatever the tide

I am saved

Save the Lost

Save the Lost
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Where is the compassion
To seek and save the lost
Did we not receive redemption
When we were dead and lost

How is it that we do not
Go out to share the Word
And wipe out the evil plot
Of condemning all from God

Rise up and take up your cross
To all who suffer death and loss
Living in the dark
Without a glimmer or spark

Bring His Light and Hope
To the blind who grope
That they may receive sight for their eyes
And Truth for their lives

Sunday 8 August 2021

Rest assured

And in His Will 
As I obey 
To do His Will 

In His Way
And in His time 
All shall be 
Made whole and fine

Dependent On Grace

Dependent On Grace
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The weight upon you 
Too hard to bear
Things all around you 
Come to your care 

Far too overwhelming
For you to take 
Yet you keep on trying 
For lives at stake 

But do not be 
Disheartened
The Lord does see 
Your burden

His Mercy is great 
And abundant
Keep steadfast in faith 
And dependent 

Upon the Lord's
Amazing Grace
In whatever 
You have to face

Day By Day

Showering 
Down from above 

Day by day
I see Thy hand 
Pave the way 
Until the end

Direction

Direction

How would I know
What I must do
If You do not show
What You want me to do

Who died and rose again
That all may receive salvation
Through His sacrificial redemption

For all of us to stay
In pure and holy righteousness

And absolutely secure
Way to God the Father

How Life Is

How Life Is
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

This is how
Life will be
Better see it now
To be set free

The comfortable
Will be made uncomfortable
Those in discomfort
Will be comforted

We grow in the rough
And become wise in the tough
Lest we be mellow
And very shallow

The battle is on
We need to press on
Turn from distraction
And move forwards in action

For those who are weary
And heavy laden
Do not worry
Jesus will take your burden

The vision of the Kingdom
Is for everyone to be in freedom
Cleansed by His Blood
And set free by His Word

Sunday 1 August 2021

The Price

The Price
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Everything in life
Has a price
Are you willing
To pay the price?

The price of living
Is in the dying
The price of loving
Is in the serving

The price of winning
Is in the losing
The price of receiving
Is in the giving

The price of happiness
Is in the obedience
The price of acceptance
Is in the forgiveness

There is no greater price
Than to lay down one's life
Just as our Lord Jesus'
Pure and Holy Sacrifice

He gave His Life
To pay the price
That we may be
Redeemed and free

He came to serve
And not to be served
He came to save
Even the undeserved

He came to give
That we may receive
The gift of eternal life
Paid by His own Blood sacrifice
