Dear Ruth

I did not know the fruit
That life gave us was love
Until I met you, dear Ruth
Like an angel from above

You spread your grace on me
At a time in my own life
When I could not by my own see
You changed the wrong to right

Your deepest, darkest truth
In me, you may disclose
I shall not spread them, dear Ruth
Until my last breath goes

Though I may be your friend
And together we will laugh and woe
I pray our relationship not end
For I will love you more than you will ever know

Dear Ruth, I swear with all I am
I speak new the same, old part
By myself, I cannot stand
Until you take me with all your heart

I will love you more than you will ever know
Nay, Dear Ruth, dear Ruth
I love you more than you already know
I say it for it is the truth

Dear Ruth
