Christmas meaning

This song always touches my heart when I hear it. The lyrics are incredible. I cannot imagine being Mary. There was a recent movie done, The Nativity Story, that is a fairly good retelling of the birth of Christ. It really shows you what Mary might have been going through conceiving a child before lying with her husband. But what an amazing child and gift it was.

Mary Did You Know, written by Mike Lowry

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.

Can you imagine? Just incredible. The true meaning of Christmas has gone by the wayside with the traditions and the presents. When I hear this song I am reminded of what Christmas really is, it is the birth of our Lord.
