Mould & Make Me

Mould & Make Me
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Lord, mould and make me 
Do whatever is 
Needed to shape me 
So that I may be 

Exactly how 
You want me to be 
To bring honour 
And Glory to Thee 

Remove whatever
That should not be there 
And add whatever
That needs to be there 

Build it up 
Or tear it down 
Lift me up 
Or take me down 

I will follow 
Your Word and Will
Be it in the high or low 
I'll trust in You and be still

Blessings From Above

Blessings From Above 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

We thank You, Lord God 
For every blessing from above 
Fully laced with 
Your wonderful Mercy, Grace and Love 

You have planned each thing 
With utmost love and care
So that You could bring 
Great joy everywhere

You give us hope 
Through Your Word and Light 
You give us strength
Through Your Hand and Might 

You give us wisdom
Through Your Word of Truth
You give us freedom
Through Your Blood and Word 

You give us life 
Through Your sacrifice
You give us breath 
Through Your broken Bread 

You give us sight 
When we are blind 
You give us flight 
When left behind 

We thank You, Lord
For everything
We worship You
As our Lord and King

The Year

Have a Blessed New Year!

The Year
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

One year has gone 
And another to come
Never shall I be alone
For Your Glory has come 

O what a journey 
It has been the past year
I appreciate most the valleys
Though they bring such tears

Closer to You
Have I become
Knowing more of You
Indeed quite a sum

Yet still I know 
There is more to come 
I am excited to see, my Lord 
Your Kingdom come!

Humbly

Humbly
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Do not stand in
Your own strength and ability
But bow down to 
God's strength and authority

Kneel down humbly
Before the Lord
And in unity 
Walk closely with God

You will receive 
Great peace and clarity
When you believe
In God wholeheartedly

He will empower you greatly
To fulfil your destiny
So humble yourself before Him 
And trust in Him completely 



Steadfast & True

Steadfast & True
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu 

Be steadfast and true
To the way of the Lord 
And do not be fooled 
By the ways of the world

Though so many things
May appear to be good 
But do stop to think
And check first with the Lord

The Lord knows 
The best way 
So let's follow
God's righteous way

Let God Decide

Let God Decide 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Don't let your life 
Be tossed around 
By worthless lies 
Going around

You need not fear 
What lies ahead 
Just let God steer
You right ahead 

You won't go in 
The wrong direction
When you let God 
Make the decisions

Never

Never 
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu

Let my mind
Never forget God's Word
So that I'll
Always walk in His Word 

Let my heart 
Never be swayed
So that I
Won't go astray

Let my eyes
Never look upon things forbidden 
So that I 
Won't fall into any temptation 

Let my ears 
Never seek to hear 
Worthless lies
That bring doubt and fear 

Let my time
Never be wasted 
On things that
Aren't God-related

Let my life 
Never be found to bring 
Dishonour
To the Lord God, my King
