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
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

God knows exactly
When to answer your prayer 
He knows exactly
How to answer the prayer

God knows exactly
What needs to be done
It will be timely 
And properly done 

God knows exactly
What needs to be done
Trust Him fully 
Be still and calm

The Right Time

The Right Time 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Though you pray 
Day and night 
Still things stay 
Dark not bright 

Though you pray 
Day and night 
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

God's Promise

God's Promise
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I look to Your Promise 
As I run the race 
Never wanting to miss 
A moment of Your Grace

Leaving the past behind me 
I run forwards to win 
The course You've set before me 
With Your Grace and Peace within 

Sharing with all Your Promise
Of Mercy and Grace to all 
So that none shall perish 
In sin forevermore

Grateful

I am grateful for His Plan
So awesome to behold
Taking me from the sinking sand
Into His loving mould

Holding me up to stand
Facing the fire and cold

I am grateful for His Grace
Nothing is there to fear
No matter what I face
I know that He is near

I have learnt to hear Your voice
Guiding me in everything
That I shall make the right choice
And all glory to You bring

I have learnt to see with Your eyes
Looking beyond the surface
Gazing deep into those precious lives
Lifting them out of the furnace

I have learnt to walk Your chosen path
Bearing what You have called mine
From sorrow and tears, I now laugh
Understanding Your perfect design

Warm Embrace

Warm Embrace

Though burdens are heavy
I see the Lord's Mercy 
And running this race
He provides much Grace

Are excellent 
I trust His Hand 
With confidence

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
And made Your heart melt?

Tuesday 26 October 2021

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

The pit of despair

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

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

Do not heed the lies

Have I not given you My Son
To save you from your misery

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

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

Whatever my portion be

For how can I say no to Thee
Since You do not forsake me

From all filth and sin within

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

Know that He covers you with Grace 

When the Lord says wait 
Know that He'll open the right gate 
When the Lord says wait 
Know that He will make all things great

In Him I Gain

In Him I Gain
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

If not for His Mercy
I am not forgiven
If not for His Grace
I am not driven

If not for His Wisdom
I am not wise
If not for His Kingdom
I would not rise

If not for His Righteouness
I do not stand
If not for His Goodness
My heart would not mend

My head is heavy
And my body in pain
But He sustains me
And in Him I gain

Personal God

Personal God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Not a day goes by
Without Your Love in sight
At the times when I cry
And feel so uptight

Not a moment is lost
Away from Your Presence
No matter what the cost
Lord, You are my only dependence

You see my every need
And hear my cry to You
You lift me up with speed
When I surrender my life to You

Not a circumstance
Without a purpose
For me to take a stance
Even unto death for You, I choose

For You have taken
My iniquities from me
Never to be forsaken
In Your Kingdom eternally shall I be

Glorious Beauty

Glorious Beauty

The beautiful blue sky
The birds twitter so

Thy Beautiful Voice is
All I cling on to hold

So still in Your Presence
My heart is captured
I am in awe of You, Jesus
To You I am surrendered

It was far too much pain 
Nothing could ease the hurt 

But the moment I knew You
Life began to change 
My heart and mind were renewed

By submitting all things 
To You, God Almighty

So differently

You know best 
How to handle things 
So I let 
You decide all things

The days go by 
And I now see why 
The road was rough 
So I'd become tough

Troubles came by 
To make me climb high

So I would grow much 

The days go by 
And I now see why 
God's chosen path
Was truly the best

All for You

Your Word is my declaration

Must I clear out the garbage?
Must I stand through the rampage?
But if it is all for Your Message
Let all be set free from bondage

To Reach The End

To Reach The End
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When will I get there?
The wait seems so long
The distance so far out there
That my heart aches and long

When will this journey end?
How shall this life I spend?
Show me, my dear Lord
Reveal to me in Your Word

Make my path straight
Let me not be in a long wait
Allow me to fly on Your wings
Soaring above all things

Reaching the final destination
In full determination
Never losing steam
As I swim over the stream

Climbing over the mountains
And conquering the battalions
Announcing Your good news
To over fill the pews

That Your Truth be revealed
And nothing be concealed
Allowing all to be healed
And their salvation sealed

Facing the Heat

Facing the Heat

I am not in fear
As my time has not yet come
For the Lord is holding the steer
And determines what I become

I am facing the heat
For I have taken the step
To go out and preach
The good news to those in debt

Never mind what the cost
I must seek out the lost
For the Lord Jesus loves them
And I must bring all to Him

Nothing can take me down
For the Lord is on His Throne
He is crowned with many crowns
And I fully trust in Him alone

That I may
Be saved
And all my sins and debts
Forgiven and paid

Days Are

Days Are

Days are dry and lonely 
When filled with pride and strife

Child of God

Child of God
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In the Eyes
Of my Heavenly Father
I am His
Precious little daughter

It does not matter
Whatever the gossip and slander
I am honoured to be
A child belonging to Thee

Different from the world
I am perceived to be
For I follow Your Word
And abide in Thee

Transformed to be like You
Is what I desire
Growing deeper in You
Is what I aspire

Still there is nothing more
I desire to do
Than to be in awe
Of what You do

Without Hesitation

Without Hesitation
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

That His Work is of trouble to you
It helps those on the brink
Of tumbling down to lose

And reaches out to all
Continue serving in His Favor
And do not let the lost fall

He loves us all
Despite our condition
Let us all
Reach out without hesitation

Yet

Yet
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The Lord is high
Yet He came low 
To give us life 
He bled and rose

Yet He is near 
To those who make 
What He says dear 

The Lord is just 
Yet merciful 
Repent and trust 
His sovereign rule

For you belong
To the Lord Most Great

To be lazy
Redeem the time
And make the Lord happy

To those who seek freedom

The lives to be lost
Let every knee bow
For Jesus has borne the cost

God or Mammon

God or Mammon
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Busy counting money
Will not make your life like honey
Do not continue on this journey
Being deceived by a phoney

Recognize the phoney
He is a shrewd liar
This path leads only
To indulge in the wrong desire

Beware of the cost
Of selling yourself short
You will end up totally lost
From what truly matters most

You cannot serve
Both God and mammon
You either love
Or hate the other one

Choose wisely
Do not be deceived
The price is costly
For your soul to be redeemed

Only the Lord Jesus
Can redeem your soul
By His most precious
Blood that He poured

No amount of money
Is able to save you
Do not be in a hurry
To dismiss Jesus' true value

The end times
Are exciting times
Though in gloom and doom
Rejoice for in Jesus there is bloom

Of the end times
There is only winning
On Jesus' side

End Times Challenge

End Times Challenge
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The end times
Shall be a challenge
There shall be loud cries
But also great advantage

Those who in Jesus abide
Will be safe on His side
But the blind and proud
Remain lost in the cloud

Rise up and
Reach out your hand
To show all of them
That Jesus can save them

Much More

Much More
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Much more you will see 
When viewed through the lens 
Of God Almighty
His Truth shall transcend 

Much more you will know 
When you humbly seek the Lord
He will surely show 
His wisdom and ways to all 

Much more you will grow 
When you draw closer to God
Through the highs and lows 
He will demonstrate His role 

Much more you will be 
When you submit to God humbly 
All your days shall bring
To God Almighty much Glory

Receptive

Receptive
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Awakening this morning
I hear Your Voice
Helping me on deciding
What is the best choice

For matters of the heart
That bog the mind
We must be smart
And see clearly the sign

That the Lord
Is the Word
We need to go toward
For us to go forward

Do not be stuck
In a rut
But be struck
In the heart

Be completely receptive
And truly captive
To what the Lord says
To be fully transformed in His Ways

The Day of the Lord

The Day of the Lord
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Concerning the times 
And seasons
Do not be ignorant and 
Complacent

Be alert and ready in time
Know perfectly that the day of the Lord
Waits for no one who pleads more time
Firmly it has been written and foretold

As a thief in the night the day shall come
For when they say "Peace and safety!"
Then upon them sudden destruction comes
And none shall escape with mercy

Do not remain in the dark and night
But come into the Kingdom of Light
Do not sleep as others do
But watch and be ready to

Meet with the Lord sober and bright
With the breastplate of faith and love in sight
And the hope of salvation as a
Helmet worn always firmly and tight

For God did not appoint us to wrath
But to walk with Him in the right path
And obtain salvation through Christ
Who died for us to give us life

To and Fro

To and Fro
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You come into 
A raging storm 
Doubt and fear thus 
Begin to form 

The waves go high 
And the depths deep so 
The wind speed high
You're tossed to and fro

Let faith arise 
Beyond the tide
Peace you'll find 
Deep inside 

Anchor your life 
Upon Jesus Christ
Be rid of lies
Fully trust in Christ

Your Lead

Your Lead
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

My Lord, I am amazed that You care
About the little things I do
You do not leave me in despair
But help me to get through

You set the crooked path straight
And mend the torn or anew create
You cover me with Your precious Blood
And instill within me Your Living Word

You lead me into the quiet waters
Despite the surrounding raging storm
Nothing in You ever falters
My faith and trust in You brings reward

As and So

As and So 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

As the rain falls
So does Your mercies fall 
Upon all the souls 
Who humbly to You call 

As the river flows 
So does Your Grace flow 
At any time and place 
To those who seek Your face 

As the wind blows
So does Your love blow
To those who seek to grow 
Much closer to Your hold 

By His Grace

By His Grace
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Open your eyes
And see His Face
Shut the lies
And run to His embrace

Hear His Voice
And obey His choice
Resist the devil
And flee from evil

By His Grace
Finish the race
Save the lost
Whatever the cost

I Do Not Cease To Find

I Do Not Cease To Find 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

In the rain or shine 
I do not cease to find 
The mercies of God 
At the most needed time 

In the rain or shine 
I do not cease to find 
The power of God 
To overcome hard times 

In the rain or shine 
I do not cease to find 
The wisdom of God 
To understand the times

In the rain or shine 
I do not cease to find
The wonders of God 
At impossible times

Our life would rust

Through the deep valleys
And all the dark days
I see God's Mercy
In every way 

Through the hard knocks 
And the tough blows
I see nothing can block

Under His Authority
I flow in His Grace 

I keep my focus
Firmly fixed on Him
Because of Jesus
I'm able to live
