Song Of Ruth

I just learned something very interesting.

This song of Ruth is very popular at weddings, and sometimes it's the Bride who sings to the Groom.

Fact is, when Ruth said these words, she was saying it to her Mother-In-Law and not her Husband-To-Be.

You can read her story HERE.

Anyway, this is what TRUE LOVE is all about and so it does make a Beautiful Wedding Song.

Here are 2 versions I've come across.

Version 1: Song Of Ruth (Father, We Come In Prayer) ~ Anthony Sharpe
Version 2: Song Of Ruth (Wherever You Go) ~ Gregory Norbet

Note that... I sorry because...
while I have the Sheet Music Score for one, I don't have it for the other.
and when I have the YouTube Video Link for one, I don't have it for the other.

Version 1: Lyrics

Song Of Ruth (Father, We Come In Prayer) ~ Anthony Sharpe (Lyrics)

[V1]
Father, we come in prayer, 
To witness to your love, 
To make two hearts as one.
Father, we give ourselves to you, 
We give our lives a-new, for all time.

[Chorus]
Wherever, you must go,
I'll be always, by your side,
Wherever you live, 
You'll find me there, 
For your God, is mine. 

[V2]
Jesus, we ask your help
To conquer for all time
The darkness of our land
Jesus, where we live you live too
Unite our hearts with you, in your love.

[V3]
Spirit, we feel your pow'r
Your presence in our hearts
Be with us in each day
Spirit, may we be one in you 
Make all we say and do, give you praise.

Version 2: Lyrics
.
Song Of Ruth (Wherever You Go) ~ Gregory Norbet, OSB (Lyrics)

[V1]
Wherever you go, I shall go. 
Wherever you live, so shall I live.
Your people will be my people,
And your God will be my God too.

[V2]
Wherever you die, I shall die.
And there shall I be buried beside you.
We will be together forever;
And our love will be the gift of our lives. 

[V3]
Wherever you go, I shall go. 
Wherever you live, so shall I live.
We will be together forever;
And our love will be the gift of our lives. 

Repeat [V3]

[Ending]
And our love will be the gift of our lives.
