MARY, DID YOU KNOW? (a Mark Lowry cover)

FROM WIKIPEDIA: Mary, Did You Know? is a Christmas song with lyrics written by Mark Lowry in 1984 and music written by Buddy Greene six years later.

The song has been recorded by many diverse artists, including Christopher Parkening & Kathleen Battle, Gary Chapman, Spoken, Reba McEntire, Michael Crawford, Natalie Cole, Brian Littrell, Clay Aiken, Heatwarmer, Kimberley Locke, Kathy Mattea, Kalan Porter, Clay Walker, Donny Osmond, Michael W.

Mark Lowry has recorded his own version of the song on three of his albums. The first recording was on his album Remotely Controlled and the second recording was on his album Mark Lowry on Broadway. Before writing the song, Lowry had many questions about what Mary was thinking and his thoughts are explained right before he sings the song on his album Mark Lowry on Broadway. His most recent album containing the song is his Christmas album titled Mary, Did You Know released in 2004.

A duet version recorded by Wynonna and Kenny Rogers peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts in 1997.

Lyrics here:

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will 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 will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will 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.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and 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 is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.
