Verse 1
I was walking down on first street
And saw a man with disheveled hair
His jeans were torn
His eyes were tired
He'd been through hell
So I said a prayer

Chorus 1
I know God smiled on the day he was born
And our sweet Father holds him gently in His arms
So when life gets hard and the pain gets so loud
I pray, "Dear Jesus, wrap Your love all around"

Verse 2
I met Mary last November
She told me she just wanted to die
She sold her soul to men for money
When all she wished was to be someone's bride

Chorus 2
I know God smiled on the day she was born
And our sweet Father holds her gently in His arms
But when life gets hard, and the pain gets so loud
I pray, "Dear Jesus, wrap Your love all around"

Refrain
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around

Verse 3
I was thinking, ruminating
Maybe I have hands and feet
To reach out with bold compassion
To share the love that's been poured out for me

Chorus 3
I know God smiled on the day we were born
And our sweet Father holds us gently in His arms
But when life gets hard, and the pain gets so loud
I pray, "Dear Jesus, wrap Your love all around"

Refrain
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around
Wrap Your love, wrap Your love all around
