As we celebrate and honor the birth of Jesus this holiday season, my heart is filled with with compassion and understanding of what Mary must have endured and gone through … A young virgin girl hand selected by God to carry his son. The joy in watching him help others through miracles, and the trials and tribulations in watching Jesus suffer had to be unbearable. I wonder if Mary knew her son would make her new? I wonder if she knew this son would deliver her? The gift of a child is one of the greatest gifts of all…
“Mary Did You Know”
(originally by Mark Lowry (lyrics) and Buddy Greene (melody))
Mary, did you know
your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the Great, I Am.
