Ruth's Reward
by Me
Ruth came from a distant land,
She was no daughter of Abraham,
Her mom-in-law could not deter,
The faith and loyalty in her.
Naomi wanted what was best,
To give Ruth peace and rest,
Naomi told her not to stay,
But Ruth refused to obey.
She pledged follow where she went,
Adopt her God and be content.
She stayed when things looked bleak,
when there seemed nothing to eat,
She went in search of grain,
And it was not in vain,
For food she did find
But also a man so kind.
Boaz took Ruth as his wife,
To a boy they gave life,
He was blessed by the Divine
To be in Jesus’ family line.
When no one looks and you do what's right,
When you hold to your faith very tight,
Be patient and wait on the Almighty Lord,
For He will always remembers to reward.
