lyrics

Ruth
Words & music: Susan Booth Mack Snipes

A widow's tears fresh on Ruth's face, no one to care for her.
Naomi, her husband's mother, had nothing left to share.
Go home to Moab, to your kin, Naomi said.
I'm going back to Bethlehem, my husband too is dead.

Chorus
Entreat me not to leave thee, please tell me not to go.
The God you serve is in my heart. This God alone is Soul.
For God is watching over us, we're held in constant care.
We'll journey on together, for Love is everywhere.

Naomi went to Bethlehem and Ruth stayed right beside--
Taking care of one another's needs, they closely did abide.
Arriving when barley harvest ripened full of grain.
I'll go, said Ruth, out in the field, the scattered corn to glean.

Chorus

Ruth gleaned in the fields, picking kernels at her feet,
Tiny grains, but precious, for the women both to eat.
Noami's kin Boaz heard about Ruth's kindly deed.
He asked if he could marry her for love had taken seed.

The love Naomi showed to Ruth had won a daughter's heart.
The love Ruth showed to God in turn gave both a hopeful start.
The love that Boaz felt for Ruth provided for all three.
And like the ripples in a pond, provides for you and me.

Chorus

We'll journey on together, for Love is everywhere.

In May of 2001 a small group of people began holding Christian Science Sunday services on the south side of St. Louis. It was a precious group of people, and Susan, a Christian Science practitioner, decided to drag out her old guitar and write some church solos. She soon was joined by Carey and Sue Loomis and The Solo Committee was born. Over the years they have produced 11 albums. ... more
