Naomi's Ragtime Review
My Hope is Built

My daughter-in-law, well she clung to me, she said,
(that young fool) she said
she would bring me food in my ol age,
'Said she would share my bitter life
as she had shared my joy, that simple sage.
'Said my old home would now be hers and
my old God, her God come what may,
come what may...

And, do you know that my God may use
famine, disease, and even the blues
to prove his saving ways
Cuz when we came home dropped in the dust
my friends and family
embraced my Ruth, my last hope,
my last hope.

They told her to glean in Boaz' fields,
a man above men as he was revealed,
so every single day,
Ruth would bring home
enough to bake our bread
and then one day ingenious Boaz,
looking over all of his rows,
he noticed Ruth. He Noticed Ruth!

Now I can tell ya the tale of comin back to faith
that all those bitter years of failure,
God came in to save!

Ruth had Boaz' boy that year, and
I found life through happy tears
oh, I had it good outside, but
good went bad with the butcher's knife
and now it's brushed aside.
My story and my new legacy have taken on new life.
I found my place
I found my place,
I found new la la la la li--na na na new...
Found new life.
La la la lah lah la lah!
Ba dum, ba dum...
