Many started this journey of becoming
My set apart bride
Then gave up half way
Like Orpah you never heard
what they had to say
The Ruth’s didn’t back down
When pain knocked on their doors
They saw it as an invitation
to go higher and deeper with their King
They didn’t listen when the enemy
begged them to stay
Familiarity wanted to keep them in chains
They preferred to walk the path unknown
They had places to go
They had giants to slay
Territories to take in
Valuable lessons to learn
They held fast to Papa’s promises and dreams
Defended it with their lives
Gave birth to faith without boundaries
They weren’t moved by others
opinions of them
They were desperate to be
One with their King
Worked tirelessly
To gather the spoils
Now it is time to rejoice and to sing
In the background away
from all eyes
They were trained under
the watchful eye of their King
Beautified on the fields of despair
Don’t you dare keep them locked in
They are meant to be free
They have paid a high price
They walked through the wilderness
The blazing hot sun
Tasted defeat
Yet the calling on their lives
would not let them settle
For anything less than Papa’s best
This journey of purification and separation
stripped them to the core
They never allowed despair to move in
Old mindsets were broken
Hearts were set free
They stepped out to embrace
the unfamiliar
Became My bride
while still in mourning
They knew they had to move by My spirit
Greater things were waiting
outside of their comfort zone
A love story of becoming My set apart bride
A King and His endless love for His daughters
A covenant sealed with His blood
That will echo through eternity
Only because the Ruth’s chose to embrace
every dream their King had for them.
