Year's End

Have a Blessed New Year!

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

How Do You Live?

How Do You Live?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

How do you 
Decide on things?
On your own 
Or with Your King?

Do you seek 
The Lord's Will?
Or you seek 
Your own will?

How do you 
Handle all things?
On your own 
Or with Your King? 

Do you go 
In the Lord's strength?
Or you go 
In your own strength? 

How do you 
Live your life?
On your own 
Or with Christ?

Best to 
Abide 
And trust 
In Christ

Set Free By Christ

Set Free By Christ 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

On that very special day 
That you chose to follow Christ 
Your sins were taken away 
Forgiven and paid by Christ

No longer bound 
By the chains of death 
And you have found 
Freedom from your debts 

Incurred by your sins 
Against the Lord
And from deep within 
You're cleansed by God 

Set free to be
Together with God 
Through the Mercy,
Love and Grace of God

Receiving a life 
Abundant and full
And God's Kingdom
Brought close to you 

Living forevermore
In God's warm loving arms 
Your heart always at peace
And your mind clear and calm

Define yourself?
By what you do 
Or something else?

Or present times?
By Word of Truth
Or worthless lies?

Do make sure that you know 
Your true identity
You're a blessed child of God 
Redeemed by Grace and Mercy

My life shalI bring

Set Free

Set Free 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I definitely
Do not want to miss 
Seeing God's Glory 
Shining through amidst 

All the chaos and clamour 
There in the darkness 
That perpetually hovers 
Over those who harness 

Evil and wickedness
Throughout their lives 
Only through God's Word and 
Brilliant Light 

Will their eyes come to see 
God's great Grace and Mercy
And be set free 
Through God's Spirit

To be given a new life 
In the Name and Blood of Christ 
And in the Lord fully abide 
Walking by faith and not by sight

Stay On The Path

Stay On The Path 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You make your way 
Along the road 
The heat does sway 
You on toward 

The cooler path 
On the left
But the right path 
Is ahead 

You look on left 
Longing to leave
But there's no rest 
Or even peace 

To be found away
From the Lord 
Do not go astray
Trust the Lord 

He will make 
A way for you 
He will take 
The heat for you

Too Much To Bear

Too Much To Bear
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The weight is far
Too much to bear
And no one 
Seems to care

Hard pressed 
And stressed 
Such great pain 
In your chest 

You can't breathe,
Rest or sleep 
There's no ease 
Found down deep 

At your wit's end 
On what to do 
Fearing that the end
Shall be gloom and doom

But take heart 
And do not fear
Turn to God 
And let Him steer 

He knows best 
What to do 
So take rest 
Let Him rule 

He will show you 
What to do 
He will guide you 
Through and through 

Have faith and trust in Him 
Though you can't see a way 
Humbly follow Him 
And fully obey 

You will see 
His Mighty Hand 
Lift you up 
To firmly stand

And by 
His great Grace 
You shall 
Win the race

Without the sacrifice 
Of Lord Jesus

Shall shower greatly 
Upon all who would 
Live in Him fully

The path made straight

Through Him, we gain
Forgiveness and life

In awesome peace and love 
Always praising Him 
For what He has done

How would you grow 
If you do not let 
The Lord God show 
What is true and best 

How would you grow 
If you do not sow 
The Word of God 
Deep inside your soul

Walking In God's Light & Might

Walking In God's Light & Might 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What possibly could I do 
Without Your Word of Truth 
How possibly could I live 
Without Your Grace and Peace 

In the deepest pit 
Or at the highest peak 
My Lord, Your Will is 
What I thoroughly seek 

The ways are dark 
Without Your Light 
The days are tough
Without Your Might 

I choose to walk 
In Your Light
That I may walk 
With Your Might 

And through 
Your Grace and Mercy 
Bring You 
Honour and Glory

Storage

Storage 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The storage of bitterness 
Is toxic to the soul 
Instead practice forgiveness
And learn to just let go 

There is no benefit 
In harbouring bitterness 
Instead fill your spirit 
With peace, love and gratefulness 

Then you will be 
Far more joyful
And your life will be 
Much more colourful 

So let your heart
Be pure and true 
Fully immersed 
In the Lord's Truth

Healing Of The Heart

Healing Of The Heart 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The pain so deep 
As a stab to the heart 
You moan and weep
Still it does not depart 

Only Christ 
Can take the pain 
And in turn 
You stand to gain

Much more than you 
Can even imagine 
Much more than you 
Can even comprehend

For only He 
Can heal the heart 
Through His Mercy
And His great love 


I Trust Fully

I Trust Fully
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Because God's Love 
Is deep and true 
I do not fear 
And am not blue 

No matter what
The path may bring 
I trust fully 
My Lord and King

His mercies are new 
Every morning
And in my Lord 
I lack nothing 

For His Grace 
Is enough for me 
Through this race 
I bring Him Glory

God Will Provide A Way

The Lord will 
Provide a way for you 
And you will 
Be empowered to do 

Awesome things in
His Mighty Name 
Through His amazing 
Love, Mercy and Grace

No Lack In Christ

No Lack In Christ

There is no lack 
When in the Christ 
His Hand shall act

Not Alone

Not Alone 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Because I chose 
To follow Christ 
The One who rose 
To give us life 

I'm not alone

I'm kept safe 
Until the end 
In His great Grace 


Solid Foundation

Solid Foundation
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The journey is not 
Smooth as silk
For growth won't surmount 
With just milk 

Move on from milk 
To solid food 
Do not remain as infants 
But grow into adulthood

Live by the Lord's Spirit 
And not by the world 
Let your foundation be 
Upon the Lord's Word

For the wisdom of the world 
Is foolishness in the Lord's sight 
The crafty think they are wise 
But their thoughts have no depth or height 

There is no other foundation
That can be considered solid 
Only Christ as your foundation
Will you truly grow and succeed

Worry Not

Worry Not
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not worry 
About what you will eat 
Do not worry 
About what you will wear 

Is not life 
More than food and drink?
Is not life 
More than the clothing?

Look up at the
Birds of the air 
They live in cheer 
Under God's care 

They neither sow nor reap
And nothing do they keep 
Yet every day the birds
Your heavenly Father feeds

How much more of value 
Are you than all the birds
Do you not trust 
In the Lord's Word?

So seek first 
The Kingdom of God
And your thirst 
Shall be quenched throughout

None Like Christ

None Like Christ
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

We look towards 
The Lord our God
Because there's 
None like God

Worthy of praise 
And Glory 
For His great Grace
And Mercy

That He has shown 
To each and all
For He has borne 
The sins of all

There at the cross 
He took the fall 
For each of us 
So we won't fall 

Into the sin debt 
Only paid by death
And redeemed us back 
Through His Blood and death 

But He rose again 
That we may gain 
A life born again 
Under His reign 

Christ Jesus risen
All sins forgiven 
Eternal life given 
Forever in heaven

Redeemed

Redeemed
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I give God praise 
For His great Way
For through His Grace
We're fully saved 

Because of what 
He did that day 
There on the cross 
To make a way 

For all of us 
To be forgiven 
Through Christ Jesus
For He has taken 

The punishment
For all our sins
And redeemed our 
Souls back to Him

Safe In God

Safe In God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I give You praise 
For all You do 
For through Your Grace
I'm safe and full

Daily I walk 
In Your great strength
By Your staff and rod

Though the journey 
Is tough and long 
But I fully 
Trust in You, Lord

As You take me through 
The journey ahead 
I know that I am safe 
In Your protective hedge

Because He Gave His Life

Because He Gave His Life 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Because He gave 
His life for me 
He took the grave 
Away from me 

For through His Work
There at the cross 
All my sins were forgiven
And my soul no longer lost 

Redeemed by Him 
Forevermore
My life in Him 
Fully restored

Eternally placed
Under His great Grace
Forever to God 
I give thanks and praise

Do Not Be

Do Not Be 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let not the heart
Be tempted by
The beauty and art 
Of the devil's lies 

Let not the mind
Be distracted to 
Steer away from 
The Lord's Word of Truth

Let not the hands
Be foolish to 
Destroy the plans 
God has for you

Let not the eyes 
Be blinded by 
Stubborn pride 
Deep inside 

Let God's Word

So I will 
Do it fully

So joyfully

For Your Glory

Daily I Need

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

To gain sight 
Of true worth

To gain strength
For the race 

Daily I
Need Your Grace
So that I 
Won't lose pace

Don't Be Clouded By 

Don't Be Clouded By 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let not the eyes 
Be clouded by 
Silly envy 
And tempting lies

Even if it looks 
And sounds so good 
Beware of the hook 
To entrap you 

Do not fall prey 
To the devil's snare 
Be firm and stay 
True to the Lord's Way 

There is absolutely nothing
That is good for you 
Apart from what the Lord, Your King
Has prepared for you

Held By God's Word

Held By God's Word
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Though things are on the verge of 
Crashing down
And no solution seems to 
Be around 

But take heart 
And do not break down 
Just look up 
To the Mighty One

You do not need to fear 
Of falling 
Just let go of the rope 
You're holding 

And place your full trust 
In the Lord
Let Him hold you up 
By His Word
