Mary did you know...

I found myself weeping tonight as I listened to the lyrics for the song "Mary Did You Know" which was written by Mark Lowry (A man who I have had the pleasure of dining with! He actually was a fan of my mothers spaghetti sauce and meat balls - a meal my mother would make every time he visited the church we attended during my childhood.)



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.

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.

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs! It's so touching and the lyrics are amazing. I'm so impressed that you've actually met the composer! Happy New Year!

Mark Lowry & Buddy Green wrote that song together on a plane as I understand it. Buddy Green is Macon's favorite son. He seems to love the Lord genuinley. He also plays a mean harmonica...like I've never heard before or since.
I love that song as well.
