[Note: If the following looks familiar, it’s because I ran it two years ago. While I am creatively challenged this morning (a rare overnight snowfall in west Texas coupled with a delicious blueberry French toast breakfast with family will do that to you), this is still one of my favorites because the song is so beautiful. I hope you and your family will enjoy the blessings of Christmas, and that the major blessing will come from understanding the grace and love of our Saviour.]
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would some 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’ve delivered,
Will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby,
You’ve kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary, did you know…?
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
Would 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!
“Mary, Did You Know?”
Words by Mark Lowry, music by Buddy Greene
Eric, from the ‘small world’ department, we listened to “Mary, Did You Know?” this morning during early service at First Prez, prsented by piano and solo soprano … I agree, it IS beautiful!
Happy Holidays to you and yours, my friend!
BTW, did you get the Maserati and, if so, when can I have a ride? 🙂
Sadly, Jeff, I fear that Santa has let me down (once more). Either that, or I wasn’t as good last year as I thought.
But…wait — I’m still in FS. Could it be…? Is it possible that in my driveway in Midland is parked that shiny new toy? I’ll bet that’s it! I can’t wait!
P.S. You need to find Mark Lowery’s and Buddy Greene’s recording of “Mary, Did You Know?” The composers do it best.
