Are you wrapping gifts this Christmas?
Is the paper the perfect kind?
Does the color and texture fit the gift?
Does the print have the perfect design?

Take time to consider this truth,
It’s one I’m hoping you won’t forsake:
Jesus arrived wrapped as a baby
with God’s Plan of Redemption at stake.

See, He came to the world as a gift.
His arrival was a masterful plan.
Although He was wrapped as a baby, He came 
To die for the sins of all men.

So this precious child, this gift, would grow
And the impact He would make
Caused Him to transform from gift to wrapping
With each step toward Purpose He’d take.

As Jesus would die for all of our sins,
With each drop of blood He shed,
He took our place at Calvary’s cross
So we’d become gifts, wrapped in red.

Now we’re wrapped in red.
We’re no longer bound, but free.
Now we’re wrapped in red.
Jesus proved His love on that tree.

We’re wrapped in red, we’re wrapped in red–
No limits, no guilt, no shame.
Wrapped in red, wrapped in red
All because Jesus Christ came.

In order to give everyone a chance
To escape sin’s penalty.
He came to wrap us, He shed His blood,
He did this for you and me.

So as we celebrate this Christmas.
Remember — Jesus died in our stead,
Then presented us to The Father.
Now, we’re the gifts, wrapped in red.
