Verse 1: In Moab's land where famine led, A family sought their bread, But death would take the father first, Then both his sons had fled. Naomi, broken, turned for home, "Go back," she told them both, But Ruth held fast with words of love, And sealed her sacred oath. Chorus: "Where you go, I will go, Where you stay, I'll remain. Your people will be my people, Your God will be my God. Nothing but death will part us, This promise I will keep." Loyal love that changes everything, A harvest yet to reap. Verse 2: In Bethlehem at barley time, She gleaned in Boaz' field, A kinsman with a generous heart, Who made sure she was filled. "Stay close to my young women here, And drink when you are dry," His kindness like a shelter strong, Beneath God's watchful eye. Chorus: "Where you go, I will go, Where you stay, I'll remain. Your people will be my people, Your God will be my God. Nothing but death will part us, This promise I will keep." Loyal love that changes everything, A harvest yet to reap. Bridge: At midnight on the threshing floor, She lay down at his feet, And Boaz, noble, kind, and true, Would make her life complete. A kinsman-redeemer, he would be, To buy back what was lost, And Ruth, the Moabite convert, Would bear a son of worth. Final Chorus: "Where you go, I will go, Where you stay, I'll remain. Your people now are my people, Your God is now my God." Nothing but death could part them, This promise she did keep. Loyal love that changed everything, King David's line would reap.
