Story behind the song
Live recording of 2007 performance; from the song cycle, HOUSE OF BREAD by Lynn Maudlin, this is Ruth's song to Naomi insisting that she will go wherever her mother-in-law goes. From the Bible, Ruth 1:16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God."

--Ruth--
I will not leave you, I will not go
I will not stay here and let you go alone
For I have caught a glimpse of something life could be
I will not leave you
I will not leave you
I will not leave you - don't ask me.
What lies behind me, I know too well
I know the lifestyle and I know the hell
But I have seen in you the proof of something more
I will go with you
I will go with you
I will go with you - whatever lies before
For I don't know the road beyond the river
And I don't know how the Lord provides
I choose this day, and I am bound unto you
Let your people be my people
Let your people be my people
Let your people be my people
--Naomi--
Ruth, you mean well, and I am honored
But you'd leave behind everything you've ever known
My womb is empty, I'll bear no son for you
I have no future, I have no home
--Duet--
For I don't know the road beyond the river
And I don't know how the Lord provides
--Ruth--
I choose this day, and I am bound unto you
Let your people be my people
Let your people be my people
Let your people be my people
And your God will be my God.
