Ruth 2:12

Thank you for the patient years

That you have seen me through,

In all the turbulence of life

You knew just what to do.

You carried me when I was small

And much too weak to stand

And every time I needed you

You let me hold your hand.

So now that time has turned on you,

And placed you in my care,

I hope I’ll do as good a job

Of always being there

To hold you when your steps are weak,

Or help you when you fall,

For you have done so much for me,

I can’t repay it all.

So I will ask that God give you

What you’re deserving of:

The priceless gift you gave to me,

My ceaseless, patient love.           

Ruth 2:12
May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
