Today Pastor Josh spoke about the book of Ruth
Tis only four chapters long but packed with truth
One of the things that Josh had led us all to see
How to make decisions while facing uncertainty
Both her husband and two sons Naomi had lost
So back to home in Israel from Moab she crossed
Ruth decided to follow Naomi, her mother in law
Despite of the bitterness in Naomi that she saw
As Ruth, we are called to belong to God, reconciled
For we are all called to be someone, God's child
That leads us to build with someone, a community
Much of this in chapter one of Ruth we can see
To Naomi and her home, Ruth then decided to cling
We should also hold tight to guidance from the King
Ruth did stay faithful to Naomi and Boaz later on too
Boaz and Ruth did not compromise, we did review
Boaz demonstrated care by living compassionately
By taking in the foreigner Ruth, he acted generously
Ruth walked faithfully along the path God did show
Even though the end result she did not really know
Josh also pointed to Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew
Only five females listed and Ruth was one of the few
This completed the wedding blessing in chapter four
Which did serve to Ruth’s place in history ensure
