Ruth

Lyrics by NƐØSHØ Music and Vocals by AI Lyrics: [Verse 1] In the days when the judges ruled the land, A famine laid its weight on Bethlehem. Elimelech led his family away, Naomi and her sons to Moab’s clay. Marriages formed, years went by, But graves grew fast where hope should lie. Husbands gone, the sons lay still, Three widows left to face God’s will. [Verse 2] Naomi heard the Lord had visited home, With bread again in fields once known. She turned her steps toward Judah’s way, And said, “My daughters… you must stay.” Orpah wept and turned aside, But Ruth stood firm and would not hide. She spoke a vow through grief and fear, A covenant love sincere and clear. [Chorus] Where you go, I will go, Where you stay, that’s where I’ll call home. Your people will be my people too, Your God, my God, forever true. Where you fall, I’ll stand with you, Through loss, through night, through all we lose. Not even death will pull me loose, I walk by faith… not by sight [Verse 3] They reached Bethlehem at harvest time, The town stirred up by Naomi’s cry. “Don’t call me pleasant, call me Mara now, The Lord has dealt bitter with me somehow.” But Ruth went out with empty hands, To glean what fell by heaven’s plan. Bent so low in another’s field, Unseen by men, but God revealed. [Pre-Chorus] What looked like chance was mercy’s thread, Each step ordained where hope was led. The faithful God who guards the poor Was opening up a hidden door. [Chorus] I will follow under His wings, Through hunger, loss, and fragile things. Though I am small, I will not flee, The faithful God goes before me. From foreign soil to promised ground, In loyal love, redemption’s found. I rest my life in mercy’s truth I walk by faith… not by sight [Verse 4] Then Boaz saw her quiet grace, A loyal heart in a stranger’s face. He spoke protection, poured out favor, A glimpse of God through a kind redeemer. “May the Lord repay what you have done, For seeking refuge beneath His wings.” From borrowed grain to rising hope, God was closer than it seemed. [Bridge] Naomi whispered wisdom late, “At the threshing floor, trust the Lord and wait.” Ruth obeyed with humble plea, Placed her future on her knees. “Spread your garment over me, For you are my redeemer” Boaz swore by heaven’s name, “I will redeem… I’ll bear the cost, not shame.” [Verse 5] At the gate where elders stood, The nearer kin refused the good. So Boaz rose and claimed his call, Redeemed the land, redeemed them all. Ruth became his faithful bride, The Lord gave life where death had laid. Naomi laughed with a child once more, Joy returned she’d lost before. [Final Chorus] Where you go, I will go, Through famine, fields, through grief and hope. The God who sees the lowly heart, Writes royal lines from faithful starts. From Moab’s dust to David’s throne, A greater King would one day come. I rest my life in mercy’s truth The Lord redeems… [Outro] So if you stand with nothing left, And faith feels thin, and hope feels stretched, Remember God is working still, Through quiet trust and willing will. What life removes, His grace restores, Redemption walks through humble doors. Under His wings, your story moves Forever told… in Ruth.
