"Mary Did You Know"
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
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
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
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?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
This is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs, especially since becoming a mother. I'm constantly in awe of Emmie and the miracle each and every baby is but can you imagine the awe you would feel knowing that your baby was the Son of God? Just thinking about it blows me away.
Since becoming a mother I look at the Christmas story in a whole new way...I think much more about Mary's story. I think about how scared Mary must have been...here she was a teenager, in a town with no family except her husband (and let's be honest ladies...we really just want them to hold our hand and not pass out during childbirth...how confident would you be if that was the ONLY person around to deliver your baby?), AND she was in a barn. But yet I also see, like like Dr. Ferguson preached on last year, this amazing faith that Mary had in God from day 1! I know that I would have been questioning God's judgement...especially when I was giving birth in a barn! It makes me very thankful for everything God has provided for me...especially at this time of year when He provided us with the ULTIMATE gift...His Son!
As we (and by me I mean Paul) were putting together Emmie's "Santa" present, I started thinking about how much has changed since last Christmas. We don't have a teeny baby anymore...we have a 1 year old...look at the difference!
From our family to yours....MERRY CHRISTMAS!
