Where You Go (Ruth's Song)

The Story

Ruth’s story is a beautiful testament to loyalty and redemption. Leaving behind her homeland of Moab, she follows her mother-in-law, Naomi, into an uncertain future in Bethlehem. Her commitment was not just to a person, but to a God she had come to know through Naomi’s life. In the fields of Boaz, she discovers that her act of faithfulness was not overlooked — not only by Boaz, but the Master of the Harvest who provides for her, shielding the foreigner, and establishing her as a central figure in the lineage of the coming King.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The road is long and the wind is cold Leaving the stories I’ve already told Orpah turned back to the life she knew But I see a promise in the heart of you I’m trading my past for a foreign land I’m placing my life in a Higher Hand [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a map, I don’t need a sign I’m leaving the shadow of Moab behind This is the work of His hands unseen Writing a story I couldn't have dreamed [Chorus] Where you go, I will go Where you stay, I’ll call it home Your people are the ones I’ll know Your God is where my heart will grow I’m never leaving you alone I’ve finally found where I belong [Verse 2] From the early light to the setting sun I’m gleaning the grace that has just begun I was a stranger, a girl in the field But the Master of Harvest has been my shield He saw a widow with nothing to bring And started a line for a future King [Chorus] Where you go, I will go Where you stay, I’ll call it home Your people are the ones I’ll know Your God is where my heart will grow I’m never leaving you alone I’ve finally found where I belong [Verse 3] Under the stars on the threshing floor I asked for a grace I’d never known before He said, "I’ve heard of the kindness you’ve shown You won't have to face this winter alone" He stepped forward to claim my life To take away the sorrow and the strife He took my hand and he cleared my name And I’ll never be the same [Bridge] He takes the broken, He makes them new He takes the outsider and brings them through My loyalty was just a seed in the ground But look at the mercy that I have found The Master of the field has called my name! [Chorus] Where you go, I will go Where you stay, I’ll call it home Your people are the ones I’ll know Your God is where my heart will grow I’m never leaving you alone I’ve finally found where I belong [Outro] I came with empty hands and a heavy heart But He was there, working from the start He gave me a Redeemer to clear my debt A God who hasn't failed me yet No, He hasn't failed me yet I have a Redeemer... I have a God.
