about

From Ruth 1:1-18; chapters 2 & 3.

This song takes the perspective of Ruth as she leaves her homeland after suffering the loss of her husband, is faithful to her bitterly sad mother-in-law Naomi, and meets Boaz who redeems her.

lyrics

I am walking to a city
That I have never seen
My husband’s dead, he left me ‘lone
A woman of no means

I am walking behind his mother
She too is suffering
Her husband’s dead, and all her sons
Now all she’s got is me saying

Where you go, I will go
I will follow you
And your people and your God
They will be mine too

I am working in the fields
Gathering the wheat
Picking up what’s left behind
So that we can eat

And in the field I met a man
He gave me food for free
Said I heard of you down at the gates
You live faithfully saying

Where you go, I will go
I will follow you
And your people and your God
They will be mine too

Then my mother-in-law
She said I’ve got a plan I think
But she said wait ‘til he’s had a little wine
A little wine to drink
So I did, and I went, and I laid at his feet
Saying baby, baby, baby
Won’t you spread your wings over me
Over me

Where you go, I will go
I will follow you
And your people and your God
They will be mine too
