Today’s Christmas hymn focus will be
Mary Did You Know
Luke 2:19 (NASB95)
“ ‘But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.’”
Mark Lowry began writing the lyrics in 1984 to one of the most popular Christmas songs. When asked to create a musical program for Living Christmas Tree, Lowry spent time pondering the person of Mary, posing all the questions that are written in the song. Seven years later, he contacted Buddy Greene to help write the music. A few weeks later, they got the music into the hands of Michael English, who sang it and included it on the album he was making at that time.
Mary did you know that your baby boy will some day
walk on water? Mary did you know that your baby boy
will save our sons and daughters?
As we wrap up this season of advent, remember that God sent this precious gift to answer all of these questions so that we might have life and have it to the fullest. While she could not have known the answers before, she knew that God did! And He still does!

Mary Did You Know?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will some 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 your 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
