Mary Did You Know, but Do You Know?
Thursday, December 6, 2018
Hello everyone,
Well I guess I should be happy that this is the first time I've had something like this happen to me in the almost five years I've been blogging, but this original post got wiped out somehow.
It was the first in a series on my favorite contemporary Christmas songs where I featured the beautiful song, Mary Did You Know.
The Lord led me in writing the previous post, but unfortunately, I don't have time now to try to duplicate it.
However, I would like to leave you with the lyrics of this poignant song to ponder, and I will share, once again, Kathy Mattea's version of this song which is my absolute favorite.
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.
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"

That is one of my favourite Christmas songs, and it is fascinating to wonder about how much Mary really understood about what was happening. I shared the song in my post today too!
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley,
DeleteThat's so neat! Great minds think alike! ;-)
Thanks for visiting.
Thank you that was beautiful, I have never heard that song nor the lyrics before, that really spoke to my heart as a Mama of 5 & grandmother of 7 of my own children & grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing today..

Hi Jennifer, You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it and were blessed. :-)
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by.
I love this idea of sharing songs that have touched your heart, Karen! <3 Mary Did You Know is such a beautiful song--I love the melody and the lyrics. Thank you for sharing it! <3
ReplyDeleteI miss you so much!
Hi Bekki!, I still remember when you and your sister sang this song at RBC. Wonderful memories of your beautiful rendition of the song. Miss your sweet voice and miss you too!
DeleteYou are welcome!
I appreciate your question so much--Yes, Mary Did You Know, but do YOU know? There are so many ways that we miss all that Jesus came to give us! May I open my heart to receive more from Him. Thank you for sharing, and I pray blessings over your Advent break!
ReplyDeleteHi Bettie, Oh I so agree, to often we do miss all that Jesus came to give us.
DeleteAmen!
You are welcome. Thanks you so very much. The Lord prompted me to pray for you the other day when I was getting ready for work. I love the kindred fellowship within this blogger community.
Blessings,
Love that song, what a wonder gift God gave us. I'm not sure Mary knew what was going to happen she was just obedient. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca, Indeed, a wonderful gift!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you too. :-)
You know, I think that none of us really realize or 'know' all the Jesus can mean to us--it's a lifetime process of discovery and revelation.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, Thanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteSuch a beautiful song, I don’t hear this one enough!
ReplyDeleteHi Katrina, I agree, we don't hear it often enough.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by. :-)
Oh, sweet friend! That is SO frustrating when something just disappears like that! I'm so sorry. I know there were nuggets of truth in there that we all need to hear! I love Kathy's version of this song, too. SO beautiful. I hope you are richly enjoying this beautiful Christmas season! Sending much love and many blessings your way today!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl! Awe, thank you for your sweet words.
DeleteI am! The Advent study I am doing is truly helping me to savor all that Advent means. I'm sure you are enjoying your time with the Lord as well. :-)
Sending many blessings and much love back to you. :-)
This song is beautiful and very inspiring! Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!
