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

Emptiness

Emptiness 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The days go by 
But loneliness 
Makes your heart cry 
From emptiness 

You've searched 
High and low 
But still 
Nothing showed 

True love and care
To fill your heart 
Until you found 
The truest Heart 

In the One 
Called the Christ 
In Him as one 
Living this life

Brings true meaning 
Beyond words can describe 
And true living 
Forever in His Light

The hearts of men
To abide in

In the dark the times 
The answer is Grace

And walk in His Light 

The burden is lightened 
When yoked with Him 
And Glory is heightened 
All brought to Him

When The Days Are Dark

When The Days Are Dark 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When the days are dark 
And the path is rough 
Place your trust in God 
And do not give up 

When the days are dark

When the days are dark 
And the climb is tough
Fully depend on God 
Then you shall reach high up

When You Cannot See

When You Cannot See

When you cannot see 
What lies ahead 
Just trust God's Mercy

Allow Him to lead 

When you cannot see 
And you are too weary 
Just trust God's Mercy 
Depend on Him fully

When You Are In Fear

When You Are In Fear
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When you are in fear 
Let your mind be clear

When you are in fear 
Let your ears hear
The Word of Truth which
Brings peace and cheer

Spot The Lies

Spot The Lies 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Spot the lies 
Of the enemy 
Don't let lies 
Take your energy 

And your focus
Away from the Lord 
But let Jesus 
Fill you with His Word 

If you hear that
You're not good enough 
Or you hear that 
Grace is not enough 

If you hear that
It's better the other side 
Or you hear that
It's too late for you to rise 

If you hear that you
Are totally doomed 
With no way out 
Or chance to bloom 

Then those are lies 
And not the Truth 
Clear out the lies 
Be filled with Truth

Have You Counted The Cost?

Have You Counted The Cost?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Have you counted the cost 
Of not choosing the Christ
And not stepping into 
The Lord's marvellous Light?

Have you counted the cost
For your soul to be lost
And is it really worth the cost 
To deny Christ's work at the cross?

Start counting the cost 
Before it's too late 
There's only one chance 
So do not be late

Pride

Pride
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Pride is the cause 
Of every argument 
And is the cause 
Of every dissension

Pride will only cause 
One to lose sight 
Of the Lord's good cause 
And His bright Light 

Pride will only lead 
To one's eventual fall 
The best way to live 
Is to submit to God 

Let not pride 
In your heart reside
Remove pride 
You'll have peace inside 

Do Not Linger In Hurt

Do Not Linger In Hurt 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

No matter how much 
You've been hurt 
Do not linger on 
In the hurt 

Clear the heart 
Of the pain 
Let God's love
Heal the pain 

Release and subject 
All the hurt and pain to God
Forgive and forget 
With the love and Grace of God

Will Surely Come

Will Surely Come 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

What the Lord 
Has for you 
Will surely 
Come to you 

In God's time 
And His Way
Trust His time 
And His Way

Do not force it 
Do not rush it 
Let the Lord 
Handle it

If it's truly from God 
No man can stop it 
If it's truly from God 
No man can take it 

On Course

On Course 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

If I start to 
Go off course 
Lord, get me back 
Right on course 

Lead and guide me 
All the way through 
Steer and show me 
How to get through 

Keep me in the straight 
And narrow path 
To only partake 
Of Your True Bread

When There Is A Mountain

When There Is A Mountain 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When there is a mountain 
Would you sigh 
Or take on the mountain 
And climb high?

When there is a mountain 
Do you see a hindrance 
Or do you see 
A new entrance?

When there is a mountain 
Would you stop  
Or command the mountain 
To be moved?

When there is a mountain
Do you see a problem 
Or an opportunity 
For God to display Glory?

When there is a mountain 
You can be certain 
That with Christ no mountain 
Will be a problem 

Forwards

Forwards 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

How would you ever go forwards 
If you keep turning backwards?
How would you ever be certain 
If you don't go in person?

What the Lord has in front of you 
Will be out of your reach 
If you keep looking behind you 
Thinking that's what you need

But the season has passed 
And is no longer here 
Don't remain in the past 
It is time to shift gears

Though you can't see what's ahead 
Just go on forwards in faith 
Trusting fully in the Lord's
Wonderful Mercy and Grace

Forgive and Let Go

Forgive and Let Go
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Let not bitterness 
Of unforgiveness 
Keep you stuck in the past 
Instead allow the past 

Wrongs and pain 
Be forgiven and forgotten 
And thus gain 
Immense peace in your heart and mind 

You will see that harbouring it 
Will only keep you imprisoned 
So it would be best to submit 
And surrender it to the Lord 

Just as the Lord's unconditional 
Forgiveness to all 
Let us extend such mercy and love 
To each one and all

Joyful

Joyful 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Why be miserable 
When you can be joyful?
For how you look at life 
Will make it wonderful 

Do not let your heart be 
Disheartened 
Submit all your concerns 
And burdens 

To the Lord 
Who can handle 
Anything 
And everything 

Who is in control 
Of all things 
And who certainly 
Knows all things 

Place your full 
Trust in God 
You will surely be joyful 
When you fix your eyes on God

Excruciating Pain

Excruciating Pain
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The pain excruciating 
Far too hard for you to bear 
But your mind at peace and heart singing 
In the Lord's wonderful love and care 

Knowing that He knows what is best 
And He will sustain you through the test 
With His great wisdom and power 
Under His abundant Grace cover 

Table From God

Table From God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

You prepare a table before me 
In the presence of my enemies
To display my story 
And showcase Your Glory 

Of how You took me 
Under Your wings 
And led me as the 
Sovereign King 

Of Your wonderful 
Mercy, Grace and love 
Abundantly sent 
To us from above

The table is full
With You seated with me 
Sustaining me through 
The tough dark times in need 

That my heart may burst forth
In joyful dance and song 
Praising You as I go forth 
Declaring Your love for all

We Can Trust God

We Can Trust God

For who He is
For He is whom

With our lives 
Christ died and rose 
For our lives

We can trust God 
In everything 
He's in control 
Of everything

Humble In The Sight Of God

Humble In The Sight Of God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The eyes of the prideful 
Will be humbled
For their evil steps will 
Make them stumble 

The pride of man 
Will be brought low 
They will not stand 
When the winds blow 

Only those who are humble 
In the sight of God will be exalted 
They rise and do not crumble 
They shall be abundantly rewarded

Truly Blessed

Truly Blessed 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Woe to those who are
Wise in their own eyes
But not wise 
In God's eyes

Woe to those who
Call evil good
And to those who 
Call good evil 

Woe to those who 
Put darkness to light 
And to those who
Put bitter to sweet 

Woe to those who seek 
Their own desires
And not at all seek 
What God desires 

But truly blessed are those 
Who love God with all their mind, 
Heart and soul for they are those 
Who will have true peace of mind

Prayer

Prayer
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

We do not pray 
To impress God
What can we say 
To impress God?

We do not pray 
To inform God 
Nor do we pray
To instruct God 

He knows all things
From start to end 
He holds all things 
In His great Hand

We pray to invite God 
Into our lives to lead
And guide us in all things
For His Name and Glory

When you can't see where
The path ahead may lead
Just trust in the Lord
And allow Him to lead

From the Mouth

From the Mouth 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

It should not be that from the mouth 
Comes forth both blessing and cursing 
Have you seen both fresh water and 
Salt water flow from the same spring?

It should not be that from the mouth 
Comes forth both words of faith and doubt
Will not the conflicting words 
Cause the hope to cancel out?

I should not be that from the mouth 
Comes forth both Word of Truth and lies
For then which one would you choose 
To follow and live your life?

Blessed With Every Blessing

Perfectly through His love and Grace

You do not and will not lack 
Any single thing 
For the One who walks with you

Needed

Needed
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

I needed to know suffering 
In order to know true joy 
I needed to go through pruning 
In order to be deployed 

I needed to be broken 
In order to be made whole 
I needed to be shaken 
To understand the Lord's role

I needed Christ, the Lord's Son
In order to be forgiven 
I needed to be as one 
In order to be Christ-driven 

Greatness of Christ, The High Priest

Greatness of Christ, The High Priest
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Christ is unlike any other priest 
For He is the eternal High Priest
Unlike all of the others 
He continues forever 

He has an unchangeable priesthood
Thus able to save all who come to God
Through Him since He always lives to make
Intercession for all of us to God

For such a High Priest is fitting for us 
Who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners 
And has become higher than the heavens
Who does not need to daily offer up the sacrifices

For this He did once for all 
When He offered up Himself
To die for the sins of all 
Perfected there at the cross

To the blind and lost

What Will Satisfy Your Heart?

What Will Satisfy Your Heart?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

What will satisfy your heart?
Is it riches or fame?
Is there something precious that
You can point out or name?

Even though you try really hard 
But nothing satisfies your heart 
Because the only way 
To satisfy your heart 

Is to fully surrender your heart 
To the one who created your heart 
Knowing the Lord deeply 
Walking with Him closely 

Abiding in Him fully 
All the days of your life 
Allowing Him to fully 
Take charge over your life

Does it really matter
What we do and say?
Even in small matters 
A role it does play

For things to work out 

Does it really matter 
In the eyes of God?
The Heart of the Father 
Determines the worth 

Is It Really Worthwhile?

Is It Really Worthwhile?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Is it really worthwhile?
To go through great pain and trials
To persevere on and 
Remain steadfast to the plan 

Even though the situation 
May seem miserably bleak 
And the conditions 
Are not what you seek

Is it really worthwhile?
It certainly is
With the Lord, you will find 
That it truly is

Nothing will be in vain 
Persist on in faith 
In the Lord's Mighty Name 
There shall be much gain

For anyone 
Who decides
To humbly come

In faith to Him 
Fully surrendered 
Trusting in Him 
In full repentance

On the Man

That cannot be shaken 
To the Son of Man belong 
And you won't be forsaken

A Love Infinitely Greater

A Love Infinitely Greater 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Even with the Lord's 
Immeasurable hatred for sin 
Still why did the Lord 
Create us knowing that we would sin?

He still created us 
Because His love for us 
Is infinitely greater than His
Immeasurable hatred for sin 

He demonstrated His love for us 
By sacrificing His Son for us 
A measure so amazingly great 
Accomplished through His Son Christ Jesus

Saving lost souls all 
Throughout the world

Give

Give 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

One gives freely 
Yet gains even more 
One hoards unduly 
But then becomes poor

So give and it will 
Be given to you

Be taken from you 

The generous 
Will prosper 
For they receive 
God's favour 

Blessings shall 
Greatly shower 
As they seek 
First the Father

Was It A Waste?

Was It A Waste?
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Was it a waste 
For young Moses to be 
In Midian 
Until he was eighty?

Was it a waste 
For Jesus Christ to be 
A carpenter 
Until He was thirty?

Living in the 
Ordinary?

Remain steadfast 
And faithful 
Remain humble 
And grateful 

Nothing 
Will be in vain 
With God 
There shall be gain 

What Matters

What Matters 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

It does not matter 
How you look like

If able or tight

How you live life
And in whom
You abide

What matters is 
That you're in Christ 
And that He is
Your love and life

And gave us life

Forever in freedom

And trust the Lord's timing

Without God

Without God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What can I do 
Without God's Might
I cannot do 
Though hard I try 

What can I know
Without God's wisdom 
Only He knows 
What is true wisdom 

What can I make 
Without God's Hand 
That does not break 
Or even bend 

What can I hope
Without God's Son 
He is true hope 
That makes us one

The Father's Strength

The Father's Strength 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

There was once a little boy 
Who could not lift up a rock 
It was too heavy for the boy 
And so it did not even budge

The father asked the son
If he was using all of his strength 
The son answered that he
Was indeed using all of his strength 

But the father pointed out to his son 
That he had not asked his father for help
This was to teach the weary son 
That his father has strength to help 

How often do we go about our lives 
Thinking that we have used all of our strength 
Yet more often than not, to solve things in life 
We did not seek God, our Father for His strength

Always remember that God our Father 
Has incredible wisdom and strength
So let us lean upon God our Father 
And live our lives upon His great strength

All Steps Guided By God

All Steps Guided By God 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let my steps
Be for You 
All of my steps 
Guided by You 

Show me where 
And when to go 
Show me how
All things should flow 

Tell me when to 
Start and stop
Keep me from what 
I should not 

Let all things 
Be done for You 
And all things
Glorify You

True Joy and Peace

True Joy and Peace 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

What would bring true 
Joy and peace in life?
What can we do 
And is there a price?

Nothing 
In this whole world 
Can bring 
True joy and peace 

Only Jesus 
The Son of God 
Can give us 
Joy and peace 

He paid the price 
Through the sacrifice 
Of His own life
To give us true life 

Of joy and
Peace forever 
With Him and 
God the Father 

Cleansing us 
Of our sins 
Bringing us 
Back to Him

Not Remain Blind

Not Remain Blind 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let not the blind 
Remain blind 
But let the blind 
See and find 

The hope that is 
In Lord Christ 
And the joy in 
His bright Light 

Seeing through 
The lens of God 
In His Truth 
So firmly walk

Love As God Loves

Love As God Loves
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Help me, Lord 
To love as You do 
Let this heart 
Be filled with Your Truth 

Let Your Light shine forth 
And reveal Your Truth 
To guide the lost 
Souls towards You 

That they may know 
Your wonderful Grace 
And they may grow 
Strong in You each day

When Christ Rose

When Christ Rose 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When Christ rose 
From the dead 
That's when He
Conquered death

And because of that 
There's no sting to death
For He is alive 
And grants to all life 

With Him 
In victory 
For an 
Eternity 

Those who believe  
This gift of Grace 
Shall all receive 
And thus be saved

If Christ

If Christ 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

If Christ 
Was not sent to save the lost 
If Christ 
Had not gone to the cross 

If Christ 
Did not take the bitter cup 
If Christ 
Did not shed His precious Blood 

What would happen 
To all of us?
We would all be
Utterly lost 

For there would not be a way 
For any of us to be saved 
For Christ is the only Way 
For wages of sin to be paid

Do The Will Of God

Do The Will Of God

My food is to do 
The Will of the Father

Placing Him first 

Steadfast in Him 
Until the end 
Bringing Glory to Him 
Executing His Plan

Be lived for fully Christ 
For He died 
And rose to give us life

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

Risen

The Lord Jesus 
Is risen
By His measures
And decision

He is risen
Resurrected and free

In Him be set free

Are we in slavery
No longer 
Is there a boundary

We who believe
Are all forgiven 
And we shall receive
A place in heaven

Easter

Easter
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Easter is the day
Where the Lord made
An eternal Way
For us to be saved

The death of Jesus Christ
By crucifixion
Was to pay the price 
For our redemption 

His atonement 
For our sin
Was His arrangement
For us to be forgiven

And His resurrection to life 
Was to grant us eternal life 
In His Kingdom 
Forever with Him in freedom

No More Barrier

No More Barrier
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

O that blessed day 
You gave us a way
To come close to You
When it torn in two

From top to bottom 
The curtain tore
Our sins forgiven 
Christ's shoulder bore 

No more barrier 
Between God and us 
When God the Father 
Gave us Lord Jesus
