A FAREWELL SONG
To our Registrar, DR&MRS GROFF & FAMILY
Composed on February 2, 1964 at Yeotmal
It is the role of nature:
We sleep to wake up again,
We part to meet in future ,
We die to rise up again.
Here the space may make a wall,
Time may part us asunder,
‘Tis to meet God’s urgent call
But we'll meet in heav'n yonder.
Though our bodies live apart
'Round the throne of grace above
We will meet; We’ll not depart ,
And solace in Christian love.
Good deeds never, never die,
They live always in the heart,
Yours, too, as sparks from on high
Will live afresh in our heart.
My Surrender
Composed on 21st March 1996 Kolkata
Jesus, I lay at your feet
Beneath the cross where you died.
My heart, my mind, my spirit,
My eyes, my ears, and my mouth,
My two hands and my two feet,
My time, my talents, my strength,
My today; My tomorrow,
I sacrifice to you, Lord.
Jesus, I lay there my wife
My sons: Sunep and Moa
Daughters: Naro and Aren
As Abraham in the past
I lay them on the altar.
With love I bring them to you.
Jesus, accept them, I pray
Glory, Glory to Jesus
WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID
Composed on 16th April 1996 in Kolkata
Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth,
"The Alpha and Omega", "I Am that I AM",
You're my Father, my beloved heav’nly Father,
I am your son, Your heir, joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Man,
Beloved of the Father, and Heir of all things,
The Defeater of Satan, Redeemer of men,
You're Lover of my soul, Beloved of my heart.
Blessed Holy Spirit, Comforter of my heart,
The Most Powerful Person, Ever Present Helper,
The Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient,
You are my indwelling Helper, Guide and Teacher.
Holy and Mighty Arch Angels were created
To minister us, - The heirs of His Salvation.
Satan was once a mighty angel but fallen.
He's just one; but we have countless mighty angels.
And I was created in the image of God,
Then redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ
And given Christ's authority and Spirit's power
I am a victor, Now I am a conqueror.
THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT

Blessed Holy Spirit I love You .
I'm hungry for Your sweet communion.
YOU’RE my Father's and Savior's Spirit.
You came to me to abide in me.
You are my Comforter to help me
To take me to God and my Savior .
Help me to praise and to worship God
And to live and serve God faithfully
I cannot see with my eyes Your face
But my loving Savior Jesus said,
"Blessed are people who have not seen
And yet believe". I believe You Lord.
Manifest Your sweet presence in me
From my head to the sole of my feet
That I may feel Your flaming Presence .
Oh make me a flaming fire too .
Oh I want to immerse in You Lord
Going deeper and deeper and deeper.
You are the most Powerful Omniscient,
Omnipotent, and Omnipresent
You are my precious Helper and Guide ,
Help me, guide me, teach me, empower me ,
Fill me with God's love and Jesus' grace ,
And make me a channel of blessing .
May Your gracious fruits and powerful gifts
Be manifested in and through me .
Let the real beauty of Jesus
Be upon me. This I humbly pray.
THE HOPE OF THE FALLEN RACE - THE ONLY SECOND BIRTH
Composed on April 19, 1996,
Totally depraved are the unregenerated?
They are the fallen race, the enemies of God.
They must be born again, they must be recreated.
No rebirth no divine life, No new life no heav'n .
Overflowing love and recreative power of God,
Redeeming grace and cleansing blood of Jesus Christ,
And flaming fire of the blessed Holy Spirit
Bring back the depraved sinners to the brand new life.
No amount of good works, however good they might be.
Substitute divine fife, the regeneration.
The blessed Holy Spirit is the agent of God
To bring the depraved sinners to recreation.
CONFESSION OF MY SIN
Composed on May 5, 1996 Hong Kong
"I am the Lord, that is my name", says the Lord.
"My glory. I will not give to another".
Glory, glory to your name Almighty God,
You were, You are and You will be forever.
But Lord, I your unworthy servant, a dust
Have been usurping your glorious Name and praise .
Now with contrite and brokenness of my heart
I confess, O God, I confess with my tears.
I have been just an empty vessel of clay.
In reality nothing good dwells in me.
But people didn't see me, the real bad me.
They praised me and I accepted their praises.
Lord, make me a zero, only a zero.
Let Christ alone be manifested in me.
Let my life ever be like a looking glass
To reflect all glory and praises to you .
