Even Death
Ruth 1; Romans 8
Lyrics
The vow and the answer. Ruth swears that only death will separate her from Naomi; Paul answers that not even death can separate us from the love of God. The same word, both halves.
[The Vow (Ruth)]
Where you go I will go Ruth 1:16
Where you stay I will stay Ruth 1:16
Your people will be my people Ruth 1:16
Your God my God Ruth 1:16
You buried your husband and your sons Ruth 1:3-5
Go home, you said, I am too old Ruth 1:11-12
I have no more sons to give you Ruth 1:11
Orpah kissed you goodbye Ruth 1:14
I clung to you Ruth 1:14
Don't ask me to leave you Ruth 1:16
Don't ask me to turn back Ruth 1:16
Do not call me Naomi Ruth 1:20
Call me Mara, call me bitter Ruth 1:20
I went out full Ruth 1:21
The Lord brought me back empty Ruth 1:21
Where you die I will die Ruth 1:17
There I will be buried Ruth 1:17
Where you die I will die Ruth 1:17
May the Lord deal with me Ruth 1:17
If even death Ruth 1:17
Separates you and me Ruth 1:17
[The Answer (Romans)]
If God is for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:31
He did not spare his own Son Rom 8:32
He gave him up for us all Rom 8:32
Who can bring a charge? Rom 8:33
Who can condemn? Rom 8:34
Nothing can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord Rom 8:39
It is God who justifies Rom 8:33
Christ died and was raised Rom 8:34
Neither death nor life Rom 8:38
Nor angels nor rulers Rom 8:38
Nor things to come Rom 8:38
Nothing in all creation Rom 8:39
Can separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord Rom 8:39
