Wrapped

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
