Ruth To Riches
Ruth, Orpah, Naomi. Each robbed by the grave.
Three widows, hearts breaking, now trek the unknown.
Then Orpah turns back, but Ruth vows, true and brave
That the God of Naomi, is her God alone.
A new home, a new spouse, a child He gave.
From Bethlehem's poor comes a family throne.
And now, on this globe, when the story is told.
From Moab, one "Ruth," lists in Christ's lineage bold.
