Mary did you know
That your baby boy will 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 would give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy would calm the storms with His hands?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kissed your little baby, you've kissed the face of God
Mary did you know? (Did you know what was inside of you?)
The blind will see
And the deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
And the dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb
The blind will see
And the deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
And 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
And that sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
He is the great I am (Oh yes He is the great I am)
He is the great I am
He's always been the great I am
Even as a little baby He has been the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
He is the great I am
Mary did you know
Did you know what was inside you?
Mary did you know
I know it caused great hurt and isolation
Did you realize what was inside of you
Mary did you know
I know they put you away and casted you away
They didn't understand but Mary did you know
Did you know what the greatness was inside of you
Now I ask myself Chandler do I know
Do you know what's inside of you?
Do you know what's inside of you?
Do you know what's inside of you?
It may hurt, maybe painful
But greatness is inside of you
Greatness is inside of you (You may be in a season right now)
Mary did you know
When the Lord has something inside of you
He's gonna shake the earth
And you may be hurting, you may be crying
Pillows wet with tears
But what the Lord has placed inside of you
What the Lord has placed inside of you
Will change generations after generations, generations after generations
They may not understand right now
They may think you're in a hole right now
They may think you're in a dark season right now
But greatness is inside of you
Don't abort it, don't kill it
It's inside of you
Don't forfeit it, it's inside of you
Don't give it up, it's inside of you
This process is necessary Mary
This process is necessary Mary
It's inside of you
It's inside of you
That story, it's inside of you
That book, it's inside of you
That song, it's inside of you
That child, it's inside of you
Don't let it go, don't let it go hold on
Don't let it go, don't let it go hold on
Don't let it go, don't let it go hold on hold on Mary
Hold on Mary, through the shame hold on Mary
Through the condemnation hold on Mary
It's inside of you
Glory is to come, if you just hold on
Glory is to come, if you just hold on
Glory is to come, if you just hold on
Oh glory is to come, if you just hold on
'Cause glory is inside of you
Glory is inside of you
Glory is inside of you
Glory is inside of you
Just hold on, just hold on
Don't let go, don't give up
Just hold on, just hold on
Don't let go, don't give up
Just hold on, 'cause glory is inside of you
"Mary Did You Know?" by Maverick City Music is a powerful and moving rendition of the classic Christmas song. This version, featuring Chandler Moore and Lizzie Morgan, adds a fresh and soulful twist to the beloved hymn. The song explores the profound question of whether Mary, the mother of Jesus, truly understood the significance and destiny of her son.
The lyrics of "Mary Did You Know?" invite us to imagine the thoughts and emotions that must have filled Mary's heart as she held her baby boy in her arms. It ponders whether Mary knew that her son would one day perform miracles, such as walking on water and calming storms. Did she realize that her child would heal the blind, deaf, and lame? Did she grasp that her son would eventually become the Savior of the world?
These questions resonate deeply with believers, as they reflect on the mystery and wonder of the incarnation. The birth of Jesus was not just an ordinary event; it was the fulfillment of ancient prophecies and the beginning of God's redemptive plan for humanity. The lyrics of the song remind us that Mary's baby boy was no ordinary child. He was the Son of God, sent to save us from our sins.
The inspiration behind "Mary Did You Know?" is rooted in the biblical account of Jesus' birth. The Gospel of Luke provides insight into Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel, who announced that she would conceive and bear a son by the Holy Spirit. Mary's response to this astonishing news reveals her faith and trust in God's plan. She says, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38 ESV).
As the song suggests, Mary may not have fully comprehended the magnitude of what was happening. Scripture tells us that she treasured and pondered these things in her heart (Luke 2:19). Like any mother, Mary likely had hopes and dreams for her child, but it is unlikely that she fully grasped the great purpose and destiny that awaited Jesus.
The song's message extends beyond Mary's personal experience to our own lives as well. It challenges us to consider whether we truly understand the significance of Jesus' birth and the impact it has on our lives. Do we recognize that the baby in the manger would grow up to be the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world?
"Mary Did You Know?" reminds us of the power and majesty of Christ's incarnation. It encourages us to reflect on the immense love and grace that God has bestowed upon us through His Son. The song invites us to consider the depth of our own faith and understanding of the profound mystery of the Christmas story.
In conclusion, "Mary Did You Know?" by Maverick City Music is a beautiful and thought-provoking rendition of the classic Christmas song. Its lyrics invite us to ponder the significance of Jesus' birth and the impact it has on our lives. Through the questions it poses, the song prompts us to reflect on the depth of our faith and understanding of God's redemptive plan. As we listen to this powerful rendition, may it deepen our appreciation for the miraculous birth of Jesus and the salvation He offers to all who believe.
