Mary, Did You Know?

Mary, Did you know? 


This sleeping child you're holding is the Great I am.






















Nothing is more stirring than Mark Lowery singing “Mary, Did You Know?” The emotion that it stirs within me is almost too much for my heart to hold!






Mary Did You Know Lyrics

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've 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

  4. I love this song too, it's one of my favorites.

    Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
    And when you kiss your little baby
    You've kissed the face of God
