(Ruth 2:10)
“Why have I found grace in Your eyes,
That You should take knowledge of me
Seeing that I am a stranger?”
I came upon a field enquiring that I may work therein.
The reapers let me lift my hand, to gather in the sheaves.
Of my labour in the harvest, the Owner, He did hear
Enquiring of whose maid I was
At mealtime called me near.
“Dip your morsel in the vinegar, I’m inviting you to dine.
Place the parched into the bitterness, where you can be refined.
We will eat this meal together, you will not be on your own.
For I will be beside you, and My love for you be known.”
Do not go into another field, don’t go away from here.
The young men shall not touch you, so, you have no need to fear.
Whenever you are feeling thirsty, drink from vessels drawn for you.
I have seen you leaving everything
For a people you never knew.
“Dip your morsel in the vinegar, I’m inviting you to dine.
Place the parched into the bitterness, where you can be refined.
We will eat this meal together, you will not be on your own.
For I will be beside you, and My love for you be known.”
“Come, my beloved, let us go into the field
Early to the vineyard, to see the fruit that yields
The tendergrapes appear, the pomegranates bud
There I will give you My loves…”
“And now, I am my Beloved’s
He gave His life for me
Taking off His shoe as a testimony.
Now to my Husband only will my desire be
I am my Beloved’s,
He gave Himself for me…”
“Dip your morsel in the vinegar, I’m inviting you to dine.
Place the parched into the bitterness, where you can be refined.
We will eat this meal together, you will not be on your own.
For I will be beside you, and My love for you be known.”
“Dip your morsel in the vinegar, I’m inviting you to dine.
Place the parched into the bitterness, where you can be refined.
We will eat this meal together, you will not be on your own.
For I will be beside you, eternally beside you,
My love for you will always be known.”
