Remember Where Your Strength Is From

Remember Where Your Strength Is From 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not be disheartened 

Though the storms come fiercely 

Your life shall not be threatened 

For You are under Mercy 

The Lord protects His children 

Lifting them above the storm 

Nothing can ever harm them 

Nothing can ever go wrong 

The Lord is in control of all things 

The beginning and end He determines 

His love and Grace for you unending 

The path that He leads is always a win 

You can trust Him in the fiercest storm

In the darkest night and deepest valley 

So remember where your strength is from 

Abide in the Lord and be still in Him

We Know Not

We Know Not 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

We know not 

What to say or do 

We seek, Lord

Your Will and Way to 

Live our lives

Pleasing to You 

Bringing lives 

All back to You 

We know not 

What to say or do 

We fear not

For You are here to 

Show us how 

To live our lives

Here and now 

In You abide

God's Will Be Done

God's Will Be Done

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Not my will 

But God's be done

I'll be still 

Until it's done

Patiently waiting

Upon the Lord

Completely leaning 

Upon His Word

Not my will 

But God's be done

Through His Will

His Kingdom come

By Faith, Not Sight

By Faith, Not Sight 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

I walk by faith 

And not by sight 

Walking in God's strength 

And not in my might 

Led by the Lord 

In Truth and Light 

With shield and Sword 

Leaning on Christ 

I am not afraid 

For God's by my side 

In Mercy and Grace 

I shall win the fight 

Unfair Fight

Unfair Fight

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

No one seems to 

Be on your side 

You fight alone 

Defending the Truth 

And stones are thrown 

At you causing hurt 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

Many against you 

Opposing what's right 

Disregarding Christ

And all of His Ways

Believing that Christ

Is not the right way 

An unfair fight!

An unfair fight!

O yes, it is 

An unfair fight!

For it is not you alone 

Fighting against them

The Lord seated on His Throne 

Is on your defence 

Just like how David fought 

Against Goliath 

And everyone thought 

He would not triumph 

Victory was in his hand 

For he fought in the Lord's Name 

Victory is in your hand 

When you fight in the Lord's Name 

With Christ on your side 

It's not a fair fight 

There is no way for

You to lose the fight!

Do Not Give Up

Do Not Give Up 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The storms keep raging on 

The winds certainly fierce 

The nights are dark and cold 

The eyes are filled with tears 

The weight too hard to bear 

But God certainly cares 

Cast to Him all your cares 

He is able to bear 

His love shall lift you up 

His Grace is more than enough 

Therefore do not give up 

No matter how rough or tough 

Following Christ

Following Christ 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Following Christ 

May not be easy 

The troubles nigh 

But there is Mercy 

Following Christ 

May not be easy 

The path is tight 

But breath is easy 

Following Christ 

May not be easy 

The cost is high 

But it is worth it

Lure and Lies

Lure and Lies

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The enemy works

By luring and lying 

Don't let his words 

Deceive and destroy you 

The enemy lures and lies

That you may sin 

But there isn't any life 

Where there is sin 

Sin overpromises

And underdelivers

Only God's promises 

Actually delivers

The Answer

The Answer 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Where there is darkness

Let there be light 

Where there is weakness

Let there be strength

Where there is bleakness

Let there be hope 

Where there is illness

Let there be cure 

Where there is worry

Let there be peace

Where there is trouble 

Let there be ease 

Where there is death 

Let there be life

The answer to all

Is found in the Christ 

Paid By Christ

Paid By Christ

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

We owed a debt

We could not pay 

Christ paid the debt

He did not owe 

All for the sake 

To save our souls

He bled and died

To make us whole 

Wiped clean the debt 

There on the cross

Then rose from death

To counter loss

That we may be

Given true life 

Through His Mercy 

All was made right

Solution

Solution 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

The world has many problems 

And peace is robbed from many 

In need of a solution 

For those in anxiety 

Sleepless nights aplenty 

Teary eyes incessant 

Desperately seeking mercy 

But a veil hides the solution 

Only one is the solution 

Christ, the one the Lord has chosen

Who brings peace and salvation 

Through Mercy and redemption 

A stumbling block to many 

Yet He is the Cornerstone

Without Him there will not be any 

Way to enter the Kingdom of God 

Let the veil be removed 

And many see the Light 

Let the hearts be moved 

And believe in Christ 

Turn To God

Turn To God

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

When you can't see 

What lies ahead

Everything

And His Light 

Brightens all things 

He will guide you 

Along the way 

With His wisdom 

Through night and day 

So trust in Him 

And what He says

Submit to Him 

And walk in faith

Be Still and Trust God

Be Still and Trust God

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Even when you can't

See things moving

Be sure to know that

For things to come through

Whatever that is needed 

For you to get through 

So remain still

And trust in Him 

Follow His Will 

And you shall win

No matter how rough the storm 

Remain still in Him 

Let your faith be strong

Greater

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

What lies ahead

Are greater days

Of what God said

Shall be His Ways

What lies ahead

Are greater stores

Of what we get

To make the scores

What lies ahead

Are greater times

Of what we're set

To win and find

What lies ahead

Are greater finds

Of lost and dead

Now live and shine
