Through The Valley

Through The Valley 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Walking through 

The dark valley 

The winds strong 

The rain heavy 

The body weary 

But the heart steady 

Trusting God's Grace and Mercy 

To bring you through the valley 

No doubt in mind 

No fear to find 

For God has never failed

And He's always on time 

Let Life Be

Let Life Be 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Let life be 

Lived upon 

The Word of Truth 

And the Lord's song 

Let life be 

Full and bright 

In the Lord's 

Awesome Light 

Let life be 

Lived in faith 

Not by sight 

But through Grace 

Trusting The Truth

Trusting The Truth 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Knowing the Truth 

Is not enough 

Trusting the Truth 

Is what matters 

Knowing without trusting 

Will not make a difference 

Knowing without trusting 

Will not bring about change

Trusting in the Truth 

And acting in faith 

Will bring forth true

Freedom and change

Not About A Score

Not About A Score

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

It's not about a score to keep 

Nor is it a score to beat

Not about completing a list 

Or reaching the highest peak 

It's about having a 

Relationship 

With the Father, Son and 

Holy Spirit 

For faith in works 

Is not the way 

Faith in Christ is 

The only way

Move On

Move On

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Don't forget 

The lessons of the past 

But do not 

Remain stuck in the past 

Do not let the past 

Hold you back 

Let go of the past 

And move on

Move into the future 

With confidence in Christ

Allow Him to nurture 

Your spirit, heart and mind 

Let your mind be renewed 

By the Word of Truth 

Let your life be transformed 

By the Lord for good 

The Provision

The Provision 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When the Lord 

Gives the vision 

He will bring 

The provision 

You need only 

Step out in faith 

Even when there's 

Nothing in place

He will lead you

All the way through 

He won't leave you 

Trust Him in full

Even in pits and valleys 

Even in fire and storms 

His Mercy and Grace plenty 

He sends His great shield and Sword 

Soaring Above

Soaring Above

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Through the hurts and the pain 

Through the wounds and the shame

Through the flames and the stains

Let your heart so remain 

Firmly fixed in the Lord 

Let His Grace take it all

Lifting you through the storms 

Soaring above them all

The Sheep and Goats

The Sheep and Goats

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

When the Son comes in His glory 

With the holy angels with Him 

Then He will sit on the throne of His glory 

And have all the nations gathered before Him 

He will separate them one from another 

As a shepherd separates the sheep and goats

On the right hand He sets the sheep

On the left hand He sets the goats

Then He will say to those on His right hand

Come and inherit the kingdom prepared for you 

And He will say to those on His left hand 

Depart from Me into the everlasting fire

For those on His right hand 

Had obeyed Him as Lord

But those on His left hand 

Did not take Him as Lord 

At An Hour You Do Not Expect

At An Hour You Do Not Expect 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

The day and the hour no one knows

Only God the Father knows

You will be taken by surprise 

The second coming of Christ 

You do not know what hour He comes

Therefore be ready for He will come 

At an hour you do not expect 

So always be ready and prepared 

For two men will be in the field 

One will be taken and the other left 

Two women grinding at the mill

One will be taken and the other left

Caring Father

Caring Father

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

You care about 

Our every need

Even before we ask

You know what we need

We need not worry

For You are in control

You know our story

And we know Your role

You are our

Caring Father

Every single hour

You are there looking after

We often forget

That You are there

Until we regret 

Going away from Your care

Help us to remember

To seek first Your Kingdom

And fully surrender

As we follow Your rhythm 

There is no need to worry

All things shall be added unto us

As we seek first to carry

The cross made for us

Do Not Be Deceived 

By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Let not your heart be deceived 

By foolish lies of the enemy

All bring true joy and life

He truly loves you 

So remain in Christ

And when best to show 

So no need for tears
