Mary Did You Know?

This morning, my sister called me to ask the name of a certain song.

It was "Mary, Did You Know?". My absolute favourite version of this song is sung by Kalan Porter, who won Canadian Idol, Season 2.

It gives me goosebumps, and at a particular point in the song, makes me cry. When he sings "when you kiss your little baby boy, you've kissed the face of God" I can't help tearing up. It's even more meaningful now, as I kiss the head of my precious baby girl. I can't imagine how Mary felt, knowing that her son was the Son of God. It's mind-boggling.

Here are the lyrics to one of my favourite Christmas songs:

"Mary Did You Know"

[Originally written by Mark Lowry and 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 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 boy you've kissed the face of God?

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.
