Nancy Krebs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
Oh 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?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
The lyrics to Nancy Krebs's song "Mary Did You Know?" explore the divine mission and miraculous powers of Jesus Christ through the perspective of his mother, Mary. In the first verse, the lyrics ask Mary whether she knew that her baby boy would one day be able to walk on water and save people's lives. The following verses highlight other miracles associated with Jesus, including healing the blind and calming a storm, and emphasize his divine nature as the "Lord of all creation" and "heaven's perfect Lamb."
The song thus celebrates Jesus as a savior figure who will transform humanity through his teachings and miracles. By addressing Mary, the song also honors the role of women in Christian tradition and emphasizes the spiritual bond between mother and child. The lyrics use vivid imagery and rhetorical questions to inspire listeners to reflect on the wonder of Christ's birth and the significance of his life.
