Cradle me with love and care From my very birth,

On this early Christmas morn Coming down to earth.

Wrap me tightly in your arms; Jesus is my name.

Help me grow to understand All that was proclaimed.

Shelter me from pain and hurt; Send my foes away.

Shield me, please, from Satan’s grasp As I learn God’s ways.

Keep me safe from enemies; Save me from all harm.

As a Christmas offering, Keep me safe and warm.

Father has a call for me In mortality.

Give me courage to prepare So men can be free.

Soon I will be tall and grown, Deep in my travail,

So the world can testify That I did not fail.

As you cradle me from youth, I can do the same.

Then I’ll send your foes away; That is why I came!

As a Christmas gift for you I will testify,

And I’ll wrap you with my love As you stay nearby.

I will know your very name, whether young or old.

I will shelter from all harm; In my arms I’ll hold

All your woes and hurtful pain; Love is in my soul.

As my Christmas offering I will make you whole.

Cradle me, please cradle me on this Christmas day,

Then I’ll wrap you in my arms; In my heart you’ll stay.
