What a talent it is to be able to sing! One of my very favorite Christmas songs is "Mary Did You Know" (I have the lyrics below) written by Mark Lowery....He is super talented, but the words to this particular song brings chills to me each time I hear it ...
The words..."Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?....When you kiss your little baby you kissed the face of God"....WOW...I can only imagine the overwhelming greatness that Mary would have felt the night of His birth.
"The sleeping child you're holding is the Great, I am!" WOW again.....
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 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.
Beautiful Song...Wonderful Talent.....
Speaking of the musical.....Would you mind if I took just one small moment to Brag?
My Precious daughter has the voice of an Angel...
She sang "What child is this" and it was absolutely Beautiful....
I guess it will be ok if I brag just a bit more want it?
Her heart is as beautiful as the sound of her voice.....
Proud? Yes, I am extremely proud of her....

You know, four weeks a year is simply not enough time to hear the wonderful songs of Christmas is it?
Shug Sez.....
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas....
Would love to have heard the musical - I know it was wonderful and Trista did a great job. We also had ours last night and they did a great job. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know she inherited your voice! Our choir director sings one every year that I love, but neither Ben nor I know the name! Like you I love Christmas songs.
