lyrics

MELODY FOR RUTH

One night my sweet friend
She told me a story
Bout Ruth in the bible
Her love for Naomi
Each word she said
Brought me closer to God
To a truth that we need
To the sense of the Word

And I heard her song Heard her song
Full of fire so strong Fire so strong
Going on an’ on On an’ on
Bout the weight we carry
The bond of humanity
Heard her song Heard her song
Full of fire so strong Fire so strong
Bout the way that we’re living
The ways that we’ve forgotten to give

Held in the darkness He-eh - eld
The city around us the sirens and traffic
But something had found us
A truth that had bound us
Dust on the moonbeam
Red fox in the shadow
The breath of the smallest of birds as he flies
Bringin’ rhymes for tomorrow

I heard her song Heard her song
Full of fire so strong Fire so strong
Going on an’ on On an’ on
Bout the weight we carry
The bond of humanity
Heard her song Heard her song
Full of fire so strong Fire so strong
Bout the way that we’re living
The ways that we’ve forgotten to give
And my soul …….my soul
Sang the melody
So I could sing it to you
Shoo do do do do do do
Sang the melody Melody
Shoo do do do do Shoo doop do doo ooh
So I could sing it to you
Oh

Where you go
That’s where I go
Where you go
That’s where I go

Where you go
That’s
Where I go
Where you go
That’s
Where I go
