[Intro — heartbeat, three wooden knocks, beat drops] Trailblazers! Lantern Keepers, gather close— When the road runs dark, the Lord still works! [Verse 1] In the days of the judges, the land felt worn, Naomi came home grieving, hope nearly gone. Ruth could have left, but she chose to stay: “Your people, my people; your God, my way.” Step after step through the Bethlehem fields, No crown, no riches—just faith that would yield. She gathered the grain; Boaz saw her care. God was moving quietly, already there. [Pre-Chorus] When the night feels long and the answer seems late, God can work through the small steps of faith. [Chorus] Fields of sorrow, seeds of grace, God was moving in that place. Ruth stayed faithful, Boaz stood true, The Lord kept His promise coming through. From Eden’s promise to the cross on high, Jesus our Redeemer paid the price. Trailblazers, lift your light— God is faithful through the night! [Verse 2] Boaz showed honor; he guarded her name, Gave her protection and dealt with things straight. At the town gate, before all to see, He did what was right with integrity. Naomi found hope; Ruth found a home, A family’s future began to grow. Obed, then Jesse, then David’s line— God kept His promise through the passage of time. [Pre-Chorus] When the night feels long and the answer seems late, God can work through the small steps of faith. [Chorus] Fields of sorrow, seeds of grace, God was moving in that place. Ruth stayed faithful, Boaz stood true, The Lord kept His promise coming through. From Eden’s promise to the cross on high, Jesus our Redeemer paid the price. Trailblazers, lift your light— God is faithful through the night! [Verse 3 — faster flow] Before the world began, redemption was in view, Sin entered through Adam; still, Your word stayed true. In Eden You promised the serpent would fall— The Savior would come with mercy for all. We all have sinned; we all need grace, No one can earn their way to Your embrace. Christ came willing, Christ came near, The Lamb who redeems, the Hope we hear. From Ruth’s small steps to the Savior’s name, One faithful God, still the same. When the story looks broken, when the future’s unclear, The Lord is still working; the Redeemer is here! [Bridge — melodic, building] The Lord has not left us without a redeemer, The women praised Him; their hope grew deeper. From Ruth’s hard road to the cross where love bled, God kept His promise—just as He said. [Final Chorus — full drums and bass] Fields of sorrow, seeds of grace, God was moving in that place. Ruth stayed faithful, Boaz stood true, The Lord kept His promise coming through. From Eden’s promise to the cross on high, Jesus our Redeemer paid the price. Trailblazers, lift your light— God is faithful through the night! [Outro] Ruth four fourteen—let the whole world hear: The Lord has not left us without a Redeemer. Trailblazers, carry the light— Our Redeemer keeps His promise through the night.
