Behind the song
Where You Go, I’ll Go is inspired by Ruth’s unforgettable promise to Naomi: where you go, I will go; your people will be my people, and your God my God. The song begins in loss. Naomi’s family has been broken by grief, and Ruth has every reason to return to the life she knew. Instead, she chooses covenant loyalty and walks into an uncertain future with Naomi and with the God of Israel. From the fields of Boaz to the birth of a new family line, the song celebrates how God can turn loyalty, courage and ordinary faithfulness into a story of redemption. Ruth begins as an outsider, but grace brings her into a lineage that ultimately points toward Christ.
Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken Chant]
Yeah, yeah… Ruth and Naomi…
A story of love, loyalty, and redemption…
Listen…
[Verse 1]
Naomi lost her sons, her world fell apart,
She said to Ruth, “My daughter, please depart.”
But Ruth said, “No, I’ll never let you go,
Your people are my people, your God I’ll know.”
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
Walk in His love, come what may…
Forever walk in His love, come what may…
[Verse 2]
In the fields of Boaz, Ruth found her place,
Working with her hands, covered in grace.
Favour followed her like morning light,
God was turning darkness into bright.
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Chorus ×2 – Gospel Ad-libs]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
Walk in His love, come what may…
Forever walk in His love, come what may…
[Bridge – Extended]
Lay down your burdens, trust in His plan,
The Redeemer will rise, a righteous man.
Boaz said, “Daughter, you’ve shown me love,
And blessings are raining from above.”
[Verse 3]
A wedding bell rang, the Redeemer came near,
A love story written for all to hear.
From Ruth and Boaz came Jesse’s son,
And through that line, salvation begun.
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Chorus ×2]
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Where you go, I’ll go (I’ll go)
Where you stay, I’ll stay (I’ll stay)
Your God will be my God forever,
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
We’ll walk in His love, come what may.
[Outro – Reggae/Gospel Fade]
Walk in His love, come what may…
Forever walk in His love, come what may…
