Ruth
The following song is the book of Ruth (CTR 2000) put to song from start to finish. Many use the book of Ruth as a model for marriage. While this certainly is true, another crucial theme is the inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation, in particular, both Jews and Gentiles are part of the Bride of Christ. Ruth, a Moabite, was outside of God's people and therefore, had no part in God's salvation. However, God made provision to include Ruth and Ruth cooperated with God by gleaning in Boaz's field and listening to her mother in law, Naomi. What a beautiful picture of Christ breaking down the middle wall of partition between the Jews and Gentiles so that the formerly excluded Gentiles could be united and one with Christ in His Body.
