Ruth's Song

Lonely and long the path we've traveled
Farther away from home
Watching as all our hopes unraveled, gone
Ask me, Naomi, and I'll say again
Where you are going, I'll follow

Husband and father now departed
What more is there to be
One widowed mother, and brokenhearted me
Two for the road...

Where you go, I'll go
As the Lord is your God, He will be my God too
And in your home, I'll rest in the shelter of His wings
Where you are going, I'll follow

Bethlehem's fields of grain are waving
Welcoming weary eyes
Gleanings from harvest now are saving lives
Boaz, you're strong as the love we have found
Where you are going, I'll follow

How can it be you so esteem me
That I should be your own
Here you have promised to redeem me, oh
Now I'm home...

Where you go, I'll go
As the Lord is your God, He will be my God too
And in your home, I'll rest in the shelter of His wings
Where you are going, I'll follow
And in your home, I'll rest in the shelter of His wings
Where you are going, I'll follow
