steve mcconnell – covenant love lyrics
[verse 1]
the famine drove them from the land
and soon naomi’s husband moved his family to moab
naomi’s husband had passed on
and her two sons had married women from this foreign land
but later on her sons has died as well
leaving naomi with her daughters+in+law
and she said, “girls, you must go home
it’s not too late for you to find new husbands, start your families”
but ruth just would not let her go
she fell on her face, and she cried out to naomi
[chorus]
“where you go, i’ll go
where you live, i’ll live
your people are my people now
and your god is my god too
whеre you die, i’ll die
and i’ll bе buried there
may god deal with me as harsh as need be
if ever i leave your side”
[verse 2]
a girl in white, a boy in tails
promising each other that their love will last forever
a candle lit and rings exchanged
blessings in abundance and a kiss to start a lifetime
and as the glass is broken underfoot
tears of sadness fall with tears of joy
beneath a canopy of white
the two are covered by the love and prayers of family
they look into each other’s eyes
and in unspoken words their love renews a covenant
[chorus]
“where you go, i’ll go
where you live, i’ll live
your people are my people now
and your god is my god too
where you die, i’ll die
and i’ll be buried there
may god deal with me as harsh as need be
if ever i leave your side”
[bridge]
the seasons change, but not the story
a stranger joins with people that they did not know before
like ruth would never leave naomi
though she could have gone her way, she blessed her to the core
[verse 3]
a people scattered to the winds
crying out for god to bring them home again
another people grafted in
adopted sons and daughters of the god of yisrael
after two thousand years, our veils are removed
as jew and gentile are united in the truth
we celebrate the law of god
revealed within it is the coming of messiah
and by the spirit of the lord
all who are joined with israel sing to her this promise
[chorus]
“where you go, i’ll go
where you live, i’ll live
your people are my people now
and your god is my god too
where you die, i’ll die
and i’ll be buried there
may god deal with me as harsh as need be
if ever i leave your side
oh yisrael, i’ll never leave your side”
