MARY, DID YOU KNOW?” Christmas beauty based on old, old truth. Mary and Joseph – earthly care takers of our precious Christ-child. Doesn’t it penetrate your heart as you identify with their roles? Entrusted with the Baby, the Child; heart broken as His mission unfolds.
“Mary, did you run after him and beg for a few more years at home? I’m sure I would have tried to negotiate “I’m going to make your favorite bread loaf in the morning, the kind with the chopped nuts.” and “Next week, I will be inviting your uncle Joe and his family for a party so you can welcome your cousins’ new friends.”
No, I guess she did not do that. She remembered the words of Simeon, “and a sword will pierce your soul, too.” And as she accepted the blessings and pain of his birth, she accepted the blessings and pain of his leaving.
Mary, did you know
that 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.
Sweet aroma 
Oneta, this song is one of my favorites. (I like to sing it with my Celtic harp.😏) Pondering what it might have been like for Mary down through the years … Quite a journey. Thanks for taking us along.
I love Celtic music. Can you do a video. I’d love to listen. Thanks for the comment.
Beautiful song.
Thanks for the comment, Frank. It is beautiful.
Beautiful!
Yes, indeed. Thanks for the response.
One of my very favorite hymns for Christmas. I wonder what were in Mary’s thoughts about the miraculous events that were taking place.
Mark Lowry wrote this song in 1984. No wonder he does such a great job of singing it!
Thank you sincerely for post and music. I was trying to get the worshipful rendition of this song. This is the heartfelt one i sought. A truly beautiful Post.
Faye, Mark Lowry who is singing this song wrote it in 1984. Guess it came from his heart then and still abides there.
A definite favorite Christmas song of mine! ❤
A lot of us identify with Mary, don’t we? Thanks for your response.
I absolutely love this song! Thank you for sharing, Oneta.
You are welcome. I was glad for a reason to remember and enjoy it again. I wrote out the words because I am a visual learner. I like watching the words as I listen. I guess you would guess I like hymnals. That comes somewhat by teaching. I believe in involving as many senses as I can when I learn and when I teach.
This my favorite version so far. I have a feeling you’ll enjoy it: https://youtu.be/F1H1-scfD1s
Spellbinding! Thanks.
Love this song…. Pentatonix is one of my more favorite groups to have performed this lovely ode.
