Christmas Songs I Love

You'd think after years of caroling for hire during the Christmas season that I would disdain Christmas music, but I actually love Christmas songs and carols!! Here is one that has particularly special meaning now that I am a mother. I well up with tears thinking of the young virgin who held her son in her arms and all the wonder and aching beauty she must have felt as she stared in adoration at her Son knowing what he came to do. It's a sublime mystery, but it is altogether Beautiful!

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.
