Mary, Did You Know is a rare thing: a contemporary Christmas song with a biblical theme which has become a standard.
The reflective lyrics very much suit the collective desire of our hearts in Mount Gambier this week, yearning for the fullness of Jesus’ power to be revealed.
Though it’s been covered by many, this video features one of the song’s composers Mark Lowry (and friends), on vocals. Buddy Greene wrote the music.
The lyrics.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve 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 a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kissed your little baby
You’ve kissed the face of God
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
And 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
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is Heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding
Is the great ‘I Am’
Buddy Green, Mark Lowry.
