As a lily growing out of a bramble bush;
As a bright star shining forth in the darkest night;
Is a story excellent, bright and fragrant
Of Boaz and Ruth in a divine romance.

Ruth the Moabitess joined to God’s holy elect;
Boaz took care of her and redeemed all her debt.
First she gleaned from his land,
Then got married to him.
This is how she was joined to God’s eternal plan.

Chorus:
Lord, I love You and treasure You.
Lord, I choose You and respond to You.
You’re my everything, You’re above all,
You’re my Husband, and my rest,
And my all in all.

The eternal God entered and stepped into time;
For this He needed persons to carry the line —
Those who fulfilled His plan, to bring God into man
Bringing divinity into humanity.

In the universe this is the greatest event,
That is Christ’s incarnation — in His first advent.
Ruth became an ancestor in this mystery —
God and man to be mingled as one entity.

God had promised the seed of a woman for man
That would crush Satan’s head and redeem fallen man;
To make God and man one, what a glory to Him!
We are qualified now to partake of Him.

We are Moabites too, constituted with sin;
We are under God’s wrath and His condemnation.
But through Christ’s redemption, He’s our portion we claim;
In this organic union, we’re married to Him.

As a lily growing out of a bramble bush

We’re river crossers, Hebrews is our name!

We’re The River Crossers…

The voice of my Beloved (Song of Songs 2:8,10-13)

But we all (SECT 2024)

1. The Lord as a Sower 
sowed Himself as a seed 
Into the hearts of men, 
into—our hearts. 

Now He through His Body
Desires to live again
Through our normal living of the gospel life. 

2. The gospel is not an 
outward activity
But our touch of the Lord
While doing mundane things 

As we abide in Him 
His life flows out of us
And together as one Body we bear fruit


Chorus
	A burgeoning appreciation
	Above all we ask, think, say, or can do 
	According to the power which operates
	Superabundantly



3. And our fellowship is
Unto the furtherance 
Of the gospel we preach—
The Lord we love

Now we in our small group
Can function mutually
And the building of the Body thus proceeds

Sarah

1. Fallen, in her condition
Israel left her Love.
She was stubborn in her position—
To God she would not come.
Under the Lord’s chastising
She was an unturned cake.
But Jehovah, with love unchanging
Makes Israel His own son—a change to make.

2. You became a man—
Cord of love to me.
I am drawn with loving bands
And embraced by Thee.
From the heavens came,
You stepped out of eternity,
Died and rose as a man
That You could impart Your life to me.

Fallen, In Her Condition

Christ is the Real Life-Giver!!

He gives life to us!!!
