God Wrapped in a Blanket

Jesus,

Loves pure light

Shines from the heart of God

Into this Holy dark Night

Swaddled in cloth

Placed in a cradle of wood.

Jesus,

God with us

    Blood,

      Tears,

          Rending of flesh

Sorrow poured out on a wood tree.

The light of the world,

Swaddled in darkness

For me; for me.
