Wrap Me Up
NewSong's 'Wrap Me Up' is a tender song that uses the metaphor of a warm winter blanket to describe God's comforting love. The singer recalls his mother wrapping him in a blanket warmed by the fireplace and telling him about Jesus, who is like that blanket—keeping him safe and warm. The chorus is a prayer asking Jesus to wrap him in grace, peace, and love. The song emphasizes the enduring nature of God's love and the influence of a praying mother. It connects childhood memories with spiritual warmth and trust in God's care.
Oh, cold winter nights
The bedroom would be freezing
And my mama used to come in
Making sure I was all right
Then she'd wrap me up
In a warm winter blanket
That she'd warm by the fireplace
So I'd be warm all night
Then she'd tell me about Jesus
And how He was like that blanket
And if I'd just trust Him
He'd keep me safe and warm all my life
I said, Jesus, wrap me up in You
Keep me warm in Your grace
Let me rest in Your peace
See the smile on Your face
Lord, it feels so good
The way You love, the way You do
Like a warm winter blanket
Wrap me up in You
Now, time marched on
And people keep on changing
Every value rearranging
But one thing remains the same
I've got a old-fashioned love
That sticks closer than a brother
And I can thank my praying mother
For those little blanket nights
Then she'd tell me about Jesus
And how He was like that blanket
And if I'd just trust Him
He'd keep me safe and warm all my life
I said, Jesus, wrap me up in You
Keep me warm in Your grace
Let me rest in Your peace
See the smile on Your face
Lord, it feels so good
The way You love, the way You do
Like a warm winter blanket
Wrap me up in You
Wrap me up in You
Keep me warm in Your grace
Let me rest in Your peace
See the smile on Your face
Lord, it feels so good
The way You love, the way You do
Like a warm winter blanket
Wrap me up in You
Wrap me up in You
Keep me warm in Your grace
Let me rest in Your peace
See the smile on Your face
Lord, it feels so good
The way You love, the way You do
Like a warm winter blanket
Wrap me up in You...
