Mary Did You Know?
Meredith Andrews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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. Ooo Ooo Ooo
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
the Saviour King you're holding
this Baby Boy you're holding is the Great, I Am.
The Meredith Andrews song "Mary Did You Know?" questions the level of understanding that Mary - the mother of Jesus - had about the life and ministry of her son. The lyrics contemplate whether Mary realized that the child she gave birth to would grow up to walk on water, heal the sick, raise the dead, and eventually save humanity. From the perspective of Scripture, there are some hints that Mary may have understood some of these events - for example, the Magnificat in Luke 1 shows Mary's knowledge of God's plan of redemption through her son. Nonetheless, the lyrics invite the listener to contemplate what it must have been like for Mary to experience the life of Jesus and to recognize the enormity of the role that she played in fulfilling God's plan.
The song offers a powerful reminder that Christmas is not merely a sentimental holiday but the beginning of the salvation story. It highlights the divinity of Jesus, who is not just a remarkable human teacher but the Son of God who takes on humanity so that he may save humanity. The song's core message is one of hope and encouragement, a reminder that God has the power to overcome death and suffering and to bring forth new life.
