Mary, Did You Know?

~Luke 1:26-38~

"In the 6th month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her & said, 'Greetings, you who are highly favored! The LORD is with you.'


"Mary was greatly troubled at his words & wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child & give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom will never end.'


"'How will this be,' Mary asked the angel, 'since I am a virgin?'


"The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God...For nothing is impossible with God.'


"'I am the LORD's servant,' Mary answered. 'May it be to me as you have said.' Then the angel left her."


Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy
Would save your sons & 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 the 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've kissed the face of God
O 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
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!
