RUTH-A Musical.

CHORUS

In the days when the judges ruled Israel
There was dearth in the land
Ebimelech and his wife Noami
Ventured to Moab with the clan.
The man died ,his sons married
Oprah and Ruth of Moab.
Soon after all that was left
Were three widows abroad to cope.

“These children of the promised land
Wandering and as lost in the sea
Three widows in a foreign sand
The future looked bleak as can be.”



Noami to the daughters-

My daughters, I return
To the country that is my God’s
I leave you now to fire the kilns
For lives that are your own
Go forth with my blessings
To your kind to live as you should choose
Go forth and may the lord bless you
For all that you loosed.

Ruth-


‘Do not ask me to leave you
Or turn back from following you;
For wherever you go I will go;
For wherever you lodge I will lodge,
Your people shall be my people,
And your God my God.
Where you die ,I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The lord do so to me ,and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.’

Crowd at home-

Is this Noami ….mumbling..


Noami-

Do not call me Noami..
Call me Mara
For God’s hand have been
Heavy upon me.
I went away full
And I come back empty.
The lord has afflicted me.


Chorus-

Boaz,Boaz,man of the world
Boaz,Boaz a catch of the yore
A kinsman ,a redeemer
A man of gold
Boaz ,Boaz owner of land
Boaz ,Boaz an honourable man.


Boaz-


Lo! Who is that gleaning
In my field
So calm,so sure,so right
Lo!Who is that gleaning
In my field
So angelic and mild
Isn’t it Ruth my kinsman
Whose life is a testimony
Isn’t it Ruth my kinsman
Who could be mine by right
This is my land you glean at hand,
My men,my crop,my vine
Take of whats left as of the books
Stay to my side of the land.


Noami-

Where did you glean today my child
Where did you glean today
Bless the lord ,bless him girl
For the man you worked for
Is your kinsman redeemer
Bless the lord ,for his kindness
To the living and the dead
Boaz is the security
I seek for you
Wash yourself ,anoint yourself
Put on your best garments.
You will meet him at the threshing floor
Where he resides tonight


Chorus-

Ruth went as noami instructed
To take what was hers to claim
She threw her cloak at the feet of promise
Yet remained without a blame

Boaz took up the cloak from his feet
And as upright as he could be
Had got to the heart of the matter
Before the end of the day

Boaz wed Ruth
Ruth claimed the promise-
promise of the children of God
Boaz wed Ruth
Ruth beget Obed,
Obed to Jesse ,then David
This upright lady ,an outcaste of sorts
Met Christ by the virtue of lineage
This upright lady
A foreigner by birth
Had a life worth God’s spoken message.

Chorus-

Boaz ,Boaz ,man of the world
Boaz ,Boaz a catch of the yore
A kinsman ,a redeemer
A man of gold
Boaz ,Boaz owner of land
Boaz ,Boaz an honourable man.

Image of Christ.

 There is nothing more scarier than a heart that has hardened .I was talking to Mary the other day,infact weeping with her There is a deep restlessnessness inside.Thank God for it becuase it shows that I have not resigned myself to the way things are.I was telling her I miss the deep experience of seeing the image of Christ and the compassion of the Holy spirit which just used to overwhelm  my heart when I saw the image of Christ in people ,situation and the creation. What is the image of Christ?It is a body marred and maimed to bear the sin of the world.it is a voice that did not speak in protest against God the father,who actually planned it all before the creation of the world,not against the people who maimed Him ,flogged Him,drove the nails into His hands and feet to satisfy their sinful nature.The image of Christ is a body broken  to the utmost yet given to feed the very same people .It is a love that did not count the cost. I am a person who does not put too much v...

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I ca...

Thankyou Lord for the year that was.

 It has been sometime since I have blogged. I don't even remember how the whole of last year passed. While sitting for the prayer meeting with the ladies I suddenly realised that the last year I had broken so many barriers. Things I had cried to the Lord in prayer had come to pass quietly but surely. It has not been without drama but it was through sheer resolve and daily consecratiom  I walked the steps I never thought I could. I learnt to drive for one and then towards the last week had the distinction of breaking the panes of the car while backing. It hit the wall. Thank-fully no one was hurt. My wonderful family just said ,'It Happens'. This year I adopted a male pig and a female pig .I sold the last year's pig for fourteen grands and five hundred.I  brought some brick to try and build an apartment but since the leading from the Lord was not to invest I invested the money in my eternal home I thank God for that. Towards the year end I got the privellage to help Kanc...
