Chrysalis



Babe in the cradle
Wrapped in rainbows
Saved from death
More than once

Chosen, beloved
Wrapped in rainbows
Full of promise
Baptized in hope

Broken, beaten
Wrapped in rainbows
Shame unspoken
Fears dug deep

Wild in freedom
Wrapped in rainbows
Light in darkness
Leads her home

New creation
Wrapped in rainbows
Newfound family
Newfound love

Sparks and Roses
Wrapped in rainbows
Wooed and Pursued
Two made one

Two hearts broken
Wrapped in rainbows
Shared the shroud
Beloved son

Battles, truces
Wrapped in rainbows
Digging caverns
Until they're done

Trees uprooted
Wrapped in Rainbows
New trees planted
Trees of life

Creeping darkness
Wrapped in rainbows
World in waiting
Lord, how long?
