Mary, Did You Know?
From Home for Christmas 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'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? And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God. Oh Mary did you know? 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? This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.
By Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene
Mary, Did You Know??Mary, did you know that your baby boy would
one day walk on water? In 1984, Mark Lowry was asked to write an Advent musical for his home congregation in Nashville. He agreed and focused on the "wonder" of Christmas as a theme. "I tried to picture Mary holding the baby Jesus on the first Christmas morning and wondered what she was thinking about that child," Lowry says. "She knew he was special—the Virgin Birth was her first clue—but could she ever imagine all the things that he would do while he was here?" Soon, Lowry came up with a series
of questions that he would like to ask Mary: Lowry decided to use the questions as a monologue to be recited between the scenes of his musical. In 1992, Buddy Greene put this monologue to music and it quickly grew into an all-time Christmas favorite..
What did Mary know? This little girl had an incredible understanding of this miracle that God was carrying out through her!
