The book of Ruth

Now it came to pass in the days when judges ruled

Story of Naomi a story of Ruth

Naomi husband died along with her 2 sons

Ruth stayed with Naomi after mahlon

Underneath the golden sky where barley grows do high

A widow named Ruth walked paths where shadows multiply

She followed hope through tears her faith would never break

She called out for love her soul began to ache

Naomi's sorrow spoke her words were drenched in pain

Ruth's was the one that held her said love will still remain

Through foreign lands she sowed where strangers cast their doubt

She said I'll plant my faith in you and watch the harvest sprout

Boaz watched her glean soft whispers filled the air

She worked with hands that healed though life had been unfair

A vow was born that night beneath the moonlit haze

Redemption found its way and love begun to blaze

From trials deep as sea to joy that overflowed

A kingly line was forged where ruths devotion showed

She taught us faith can bloom in the darkest hours

For every thorn we faced bloomed eternal flowers

Story of Ruth

She left her land for love not coin

A heart so pure no line to join

Through fields of barley gold and wide

Her faith a beacon deep inside

Harvest shadows stretched so far

Yet hope hummed softly beneath each star

A stranger's kindness lit her way

Turning darkness into a brighter day

Her story lingers ages past

Proof that love will always last

Through pain through loss through gentle grace

We see her smile all over her face

Where you go I'll go too

Through the storm skies so blue

Your people mine your God my guide

Together strong side by side
