I Am Ruth
On the 11th of April 2006, a few days after our precious Pastor had started preaching from the book of Ruth, the Holy Spirit gave me this song. I never really read a lot before but when my Pastor started preaching from the book of Ruth, I began to get a nudge to pick up my Bible and read from the book of Ruth. That day was so different from other days. I got up, prayed and read the entire book of Ruth. While doing my house work I felt such a wonderful atmosphere around me that I knew the Holy Spirit was right there. Satan didn’t like that so he sent many distractions to try and get me out of that sweet presence but the Holy Spirit said to me, “You need to shut away from everything and everyone. I have something for you.” I immediately dropped what I was doing and went into a room where my father studies the Word. I knew I was going to get a song because it’s not the first time I wrote a song, so I took paper, a pen and my brother’s guitar with me. While in the room, He led me back to the scripture in Ruth that I was reading before. While reading, I started hearing words so I took my pen and wrote them down. I began strumming some chords on the guitar and the tune just began to flow. I then put the words and the tune together. I believe God can do anything for young, old or middle aged. I’m sixteen and I have seen God use younger children than me in the Bible. When the Lord gave me this song I knew He was just preparing me to be a joint heir with Him. Sis Esther Joseph

Lyrics
Where thou goest I will go Where thou lodgest I will lodge Where thou goest I will go Where thou lodgest I will lodge CHORUS I am Ruth, a virtuous woman Into Boaz field Whose eyes shall I find Great favor in Cover me with Your garment Of love From the field to the threshing floor From the threshing floor into the garner From the field to the threshing floor From the threshing floor into the garner CHORUS… BRIDGE You are my Kinsman Redeemer The One who covered me Took me from the field to have rest No longer in Moab, into Bethlehem United with a near Kinsman
