These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Secret Christmas Present

Secret Christmas. Could it be
He lived and died for you and me?
Once wrapped up as the greatest Gift.
He rose, again, to save and lift.

They wrapped Him up in swaddling clothes.
Later, wrapped and laid until He rose.
His cousin wrapped him in Jordan's River.
The Dove descended on the great Life-Giver.

The Son of God wrapped in our skin,
Salvation's Hope He once would win.
He walked each day wrapped in our clothes
to win the lost, the ones He chose.

Now, once redeemed we're wrapped in Him,
that no more should our boss be Sin.
The Future's still a mystery wrapped,
revealed in time to those he's kept.
