Ruth
Do not ask me to leave you
For I will not go away
No, I'm not going anywhere
With you I want to stay
Where you go I will follow
And where you stay so will I
your God will be my God, and
Where you die I will die
Chorus:
With you
Is where I want to be
With you
Is just how God made me
It's true
Till my last breath
I'll be with you
This road has not been easy
We have had our taste of tears
And now you're telling me to
Leave you in the face of fear
Though all others may forsake you
I will never let you go
This is my choice
And I want you to know
Chorus
Together we will travel
Till you find your way back home
I will always be beside you
You will never be alone
Were I ever to forsake you
May God strike me instantly
If anything but death parts you and me
