Bernd is correct. In the original code:

a) you specified the value of the TEXT cObject as a wrap
b) you didn't retrieve the value you wanted to wrap *at all*

Bernd's solution addresses both problems.

The above should get you going, but if you are looking for a fully
dynamic FIR solution (i.e. if you're using image-replacement as in the
current TS), you may be interested in my extension bh_firtools [1]
which provides a basic implementation for fully dynamic FIR headers
and menu as well as a fully-dynamic stylesheet. The extension doesn't
use the same FIR method as what you're doing (it sets the height of
the text to 1px, padding-top to the height of the background image
minus 1px, and then places the GIFBUILDER object as a background
image--see screenshots of code, headers and menu [2]), but it's very
similar in practical terms. In the sample implementation, left, center
and right alignment work with headers, as do links.

A warning though: you'd have to modify the GIFBUILDER objects to suit
your site, and it's a big chunk of Typoscript ;-)
