 I am always drawn to the modern carol “Mary, Did You Know?”  There’s something about the lyrics that capture both the beauty and mystery of the Christmas story. The questions posed in the song remind me that Christmas isn’t just about a baby in a manger. It’s about God Himself stepping into our world. This tiny, fragile child was the Savior of all humanity — the same one who would walk on water, heal the sick, calm the storm, and conquer death. Mary knew her baby was special, chosen, and holy — but could she have truly grasped that she was holding the Creator of the Universe in her arms? For me, this song rekindles the sacred wonder and awe that began in a manger and still changes lives today.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy is the 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 holdin’ is the Great I Am!
