"WHERE YOU GO" | Spencer LaJoye

Whether or not you were a Bible Kid™️, you can appreciate this good story… in the Book of Ruth, Naomi is about to make a journey back to her homeland (she has lost her 2 sons and husband at this point). She intends to go alone. But then her daughter-in-law, Ruth, says (famously), “where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. Your people will be my people, and your god my god.” It is a proclamation of chosen family. It is a pledge of allegiance to one another. Over anything else.

This song - “Where You Go” - was written by 5 songwriters in January 2026. We live in Texas, North Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado, and California. We are inspired by the people of Minneapolis (and many many other communities in our country), who are choosing one another over anything else.

They can’t mess with one of us without messing with all of us. Where you go, I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. I will walk you home ‘til we all are safe.

xoxo
