The first time I heard this song was when hubby sang it (solo) at church years and years ago. I remember thinking that this is the prettiest song I have ever heard. I have reminded him since that I want him to sing it again so I can record him and play it over and over.
Today, I watched the video of this song by Pentatonix – an a cappella band who did such a beautiful rendition of it. Just beautiful.
Here is the video and the lyrics are beneath.
Mary, Did You Know
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?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, 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 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.

UPDATE: Ugh. Since posting this, hubby informs me that the song he sang was “Joseph’s Song”, not “Mary, Did You Know”. Joseph…Mary…you understand how I can get confused, yes?
