Lyrics by Mark Lowry, Music by Buddy Greene
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 deliver will soon deliver you.
Oh, Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy,
Will give sight to the blind?
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’ve kissed the face of God?
Oh, Mary, did you know?
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,
Was heaven’s perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping child you’re holding
Is the Great I Am?
Oh, Mary, did you know?
