Song of Ruth
But Ruth said,
‘Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
where you lodge, I will lodge;
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
Where you die, I will die—
there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me,
and more as well,
if even death parts me from you!’
(Ruth 1:16-17)
‘Do not press me to leave you
or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go;
where you lodge, I will lodge;
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
Where you die, I will die—
there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me,
and more as well,
if even death parts me from you!’
(Ruth 1:16-17)
Another feel good passage of unwaivering loyalty and faith. And given that Ruth told this to her mother-in-law, all the more this becomes special. Then add to that the fact that she was actually Ruth's ex mother-in-law since her son (Ruth's husband) already passed on and hence, Ruth had already finished her obligations towards her mother-in-law, this passage becomes even more inspiring.
Now let's hear the song. But this is in Filipino. If you cannot understand the lyrics, just try to feel the song.

Pananatili
Music and lyrics by: Noel Miranda
Arrangement: Paulo K Tirol
Soloists: Chad Arcinue
Leanne Laudico-Arcinue
Flute: Jay Gomez
Huwag mong naising lisanin kita;
Wala 'kong hangaring ika'y mag-isa.
Sa'n man magtungo, ako'y sasabay,
Magkabalikat sa paglalakbay.
Mananahan sa tahanang sisilong sa 'yo,
Yayakapin ang landasin at bayan mo.
Poon mo ay aking ipagbubunyi
At iibigin nang buong sarili.
Sa'n man abutin ng paghahanap,
Ikaw at ako'y magkasamang ganap.
Ipahintulot nawa ng Panginoon:
Ni kamataya'y maglalaho, anino ng kahapon.
Dahil pag-ibig ang alay sa 'yo, mananatili ako.
H'wag nang naising tayo'y mawalay,
H'wag nang isiping
Magwawakas ang paglalakbay.
If you really must know, I can play the flute part of this. And I actually played it in a concert.
