This ballad of worship and love for The Lord Our God came to me in the wee hours of the morning today, somewhere between 2 and 3:30 AM, after which my body melted into my bed and I could not have moved unless the earth had moved me first.
WRAPPED
1) I have joy in my journey
I have strength because of You
I have peace passing understanding
Cause I have Jesus here with me
-chorus-
I never saw the rain
Never heard the storm
Till I saw The Son
When I felt the warmth
Never saw the clouds
Congregate above
Till I found myself
Wrapped in arms of love
2) There's so much to see
When our eyes are opened
To The Holy Spirit
Who aligns our hearts with God.
-chorus-
I never saw the rain
Never heard the storm
Till I saw The Son
When I felt the warmth
Never saw the clouds
Congregate above
Till I found myself
Wrapped in arms of love
3) Through the power of You, Spirit,
I have come to understand
That a life without You in it,
Is a life of much demand.
-chorus-
I never saw the rain
Never heard the storm
Till I saw The Son
When my face was warm
Neve saw the clouds
Congregate above
Till I found my self
Wrapped in arms of love
1st Bridge
Having seen The Light
I can see the dark
Having gained the courage
I can build the ark
For my family
To enter in and rest
From the fire of wrath
That is sure to come
When our Lord has taken
All His family home.
-2nd chorus-
I never heard the rain
Never saw the storm
Never saw the clouds
Congregate my harm
Heard the warning cries
Saw the church arise
Out of the dark She came
To set the captives free
To bind the brokenhearted
Cause the blind to see
To open up the prison doors
And let The Light shine in
To preach good tidings to the meek
To declare The Lord's return
To appoint Zion's mourners
In the City of their God
Giving gifts which Christ had giv'n her
For just such this cause:
Beauty instead of ashes
Joyous Oil instead of grief
To take away their heavy hearts
And replace them with clothes of praise
She gives Her Lord and Savior
Glory by Her actions
Glory by Her Love
Glory by Her boldness and
He is glorified above
and She sings
I am wrapped in arms of glory
I'm a Church whose God is great!
I'm the one He came to rescue
From the mire and the grave
I'm the one He calls to gently
In the garden where I pray
I'm the one He holds close to Him
When He wipes my tears away
I'm the one He bends an ear to
When I whisper words of Love
I'm a Church whose Cornerstone
Is Chiefest of all
He's the One that was rejected
Giving self for us all!
Wrapped in His Love
I am wrapped in His Love
Sweet Holy Spirit
You have wrapped me in His Love
Sweet Holy Spirit
You have wrapped me in
His
Love
