That Good day - Friday!

That Friday became Good Friday,
when your only son Jesus Christ
submitted His Soul to you, Lord!

Only, and only His death on the cross
was greatly honoured as the sinless
became sin and died for the sinful millions!

You are the greatest our Loving Saviour!
as You came in search of us when
we were unholy and enemies to you!

What a wonderful love is Yours, Our Lord!
Yes! You have greatly loved us to the extend of
sacrificing your own only beloved son
so that we receive abundant blessed life!

Lord! Have You stopped Abraham
from killing his own son to teach him that
You will sacrifice your Son for the whole world?

Lord, You have forsaken only once!
That was towards Your own son
to confirm Your love to us
and to give us Your promise that
You will never leave us or forsake us!

I wondered!!

Lord! I wondered
when I knew that
people read you in me!

I start and submit
all my prayers
only in the name of Jesus Christ
to confirm my prayers
are in line with HIS pleasure!

My prayers are with strong faith
realizing Your miracles in my life!

I love to please You with my faith in You - but
Lord I need faith like Yours!

No more worries!

Lord!
Let my soul be like the sky
without impact over the
passing clouds of worries!

When there is a light
darkness run away!

My worries run away
when you came to my Life!

Today's happiness are the
Wonderful transformations of
yesterday's worries!

Hence I have no worry
on tomorrow's worries !

Faith

I give all glories to You Lord!
I worship You Lord!
Only You are worthy to be praised Lord!

My Faith in You
Sets me free!

The limitations I have set in me
Were broken to enable me to continue
To enter the bliss of freedom
You have planned for me!

Without my absolute faith in You
It is impossible for me to please you!

I can achieve anything
With my strongest faith in You,
As You strengthen me!

The world and its problems are
Just nothing before for me
As You are with me Lord!

Abundant grace comes only from You;
My faith in You alone can receive it!

Faith is the wonderful gift
You have presented with salvation
Let my faith in your Lordship continue to
Exceedingly grow day by day!

Lord! You only knew these!

Lord, you predestined in your great wisdom,
Prior to the very foundation of the world,
Jesus Christ, His death on the Cross at Calvary,
His victory over Death by His resurrection,

Which ensured our redemption; You sent
Holy Spirit, the Comforter to dwell in us,
Enlighten and guide us, in our Earthly sojourn;
And Jesus Christ, our Saviour at Your right hand,

As our Advocate in Your great presence,
And Heaven, Thy Kingdom, the life Everlasting;
All these for us, your Children, all peoples of the world
But none else, but you only knew these!

You have filled-in all blessings for us in Jesus Christ
And sent Him to Earth to fill us with your Love,
Grace and Peace; but in their great ignorance
None recognised Him; but only you knew these!

Your plans were hidden from mankind,
But succeeded when Jesus stood victorious
By His resurrection defeating Death,
You are The Omniscient God, The Holy Trinity.

Lord in Three Persons! The Triune God,
Now I realize why Christ pleaded with you on the Cross
To forgive the ignorant who condemned, tortured and
Crucified Him, Your Son, as you only knew these truths!

I LOVE YOU

On a sunny wonderful dawn
I was woken up by a melodious music
out of a flourishing flower
This saw the delightful sight of a dewdrop
resting on the fragile tip of a frail leaf!

That flower’s fragrance took my inner thoughts
to a peak of an highest mountain
The hovering gorgeous clouds there
Approached me with million questions!

First it asked me, “Who are you?”
I was surprised but said my name
The cloud answered dissatisfied,
“Sorry, that’s only your body’s name”

It’s questions followed one by one,
It repeated the question” Who are you?”
I said I am the son of my Mother and Father
The cloud replied, “Sorry, that’s nothing new,
do tell me. “Who are you?”

I said I am a graduate from a famous college.
and told my Alma mater’s name with pride
The cloud replied “Sorry, I don’t care it,
do tell me, “ who are you?”,

I said I am a man with body, mind and soul
Thinking that I answered wise, but
it replied, “Don’t confuse me,
do tell me “Who are you?”

Question, answers continued
But fatigued was I, so I slept.
In slumber Jesus Christ came, My Lord told me,
“You are my dear son, I love you!!!!

Am I a Christian or Not?

Lord! Someone said I might become a Saint
Others predicted a preacher
While I was laughing inside,
realizing myself in guilt
You have shown the greatest sinner in me
Your love cleansed me
to be a servant of Yours!
Now I start asking mysel
“Am I a Christian or Not?”

I walked into many a church
Wonderful buildings, many denominations
You never advised people
to divide in groups
But wondered to see the
“loving disciples of Yours”
scattered in groups
Sad to know Your disciples
got the name “Christian” and
This name “Christian” sadly added
with “Religion List” along with many
“Discipleship in you” feels
very uncomfortable to be there
It knows pretty well that
You are the Way, the Life and the Truth
Now I am being asked
“Am I a Christian or Not ?”

Lord! You told me
You are the Father-God of
everyone in the world
Christians unfairly claim
that You are belongs to them alone
Other Children of Yours in trillions
look at You as the God for Christians
Amidst Christians the Rich doesn’t get
related with the Poor
The Poor doesn’t want to relate with
the poorest of the poor
Lord! You loved all but
there is no expanded love herein the world
Now I am being asked “Am I a Christian or Not?”

Lord I continue to walk
into many churches
Living with Christians, Non-Christians,
Your Disciples, Sinners, and Atheist
- All your Children
I cry as Corinthians cried unto Paul
Whether I should go by Your word or
by the “Christian-made rules”
I was unknown about the
“loving revolutionist” in me
During my silent spectatorship
for many years
Now I am being asked
“Am I a Christian or Not”

Outside the Churches
I always see beggars and lepers
When I realize they are also Your children
I think of inviting them inside the Church
Or at least construct
a separate shed for them to worship You
Now I am being asked
“Am I a Christian or Not”

May be You have chosen me
to shed my blood
To see the unity and love
amidst the Christians
To free them from the
slavery of Religion, status caste
and Colour
Lord, Jesus Christ, My Master!
What I have said is
only the seed of my worries
You can see the grown up tree
at the sight of a seed
I know for sure You won’t ask whether
I am a Christian or not
As you know I am Your
precious poorest child in the world now
With richest heavenly
blessings and grace,
which are sufficient for me!
