Your God, My God

Ruth 1 and 4

Lyrics

Naomi buries her husband and both sons and tells her daughters-in-law to go home. Ruth will not: where you go I will go. The widow who came home empty ends the book holding the grandfather of David.

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 1:8, 1:12
I have no more sons to give you Ruth 1:11-13
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

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

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

Don't ask me to leave you Ruth 1:16
Where you die I will die Ruth 1:17

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

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

She came back empty Ruth 1:21
Naomi has a son Ruth 4:17
The father of Jesse Ruth 4:17
The father of David Ruth 4:17
