Who is this God?
29 June 2005

To hold your hand
to walk next to you each day
But who is this God
that denies the choice

This Father of all creation
whom says what will be to proclaim
Of Him in prayer thy does ask
the sun of such a holy in name

Who is this God
whom gave her to me
A sister not born of blood
except in Christ to be

For I know of her in time before
when her and I did truly stand in twin
These spirits in beauty to solid heart
in cries of happiness to obtain and rejoice

"Then . . . , What day thou buyest the field of the hand . . . ,
thou must buy it also . . . of the dead, to raise up the name of
the dead upon his inheritance. And the kinsman said, I cannot
redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance:
redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it."
Ruth 4: 5-6 KJV

"And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth
shall succeed in the name of his brother which is
dead, that his name be not put out of Israel"
Deuteronomy 25: 6 KJV
