Mary did you know?

Mary did you know?

What an awesome thought…this has become my all time favorite Christmas song. It's just so amazing to think that Mary, a human being at one time, in time, held God in her hands, loved Him, nursed Him, comforted Him…it's almost too much to grasp. There's a verse in the song that says "did you know your baby boy has walked where angels trod, when you kissed your little baby…you kissed the face of God."
I often wonder if she did fully understood what was going on. I know she was told by an angel that Jesus would be the Messiah, but I don't believe even with that, that she could, as a human, fully understand the distance this salvation that she was goo goo talking to, would carry. Mary, though not to be worshiped, was truly a great woman. She was just a teenager when she was called upon to give birth to the savior of the world, she could have said no. But instead she bore the savior of the world. Check out the words to this song & meditate on them. Then get in God's Word & read the story of Jesus birth.

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've delivered, will
soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy would
give sight to a blind man?
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
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.
