Mary Did You Know?
Ricky Skaggs And Family 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 would 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"
Mary, did you know?
So, Mary, did you know
That your baby
That your baby boy
Mary, did you know?
One day
That your baby
Mary, did you know?
The lyrics of the song "Mary Did You Know?" by Ricky Skaggs and Family are a series of questions directed towards Mary, the mother of Jesus, asking her if she knew the true nature and role of her son. The questions ask if Mary knew that her son would perform incredible miracles such as walking on water, healing the sick and even raising the dead. It also questions if Mary knew that her son would become the ruler of nations and the savior of the world. The song concludes with the statement that the child that Mary delivered is the great "I am", the embodiment of God Himself.
The song speaks to the idea of identity and purpose. It asks us to consider the question of whether we truly understand our own identity and purpose in the world. The song tells the story of a woman who gave birth to a child who she knew was special, but did she truly understand the magnitude of who he was? The lyrics remind us that sometimes we don't fully appreciate the greatness within us until it is truly revealed.
Overall, "Mary Did You Know?" is a reflection on faith and the idea that we may not always understand the full potential of those around us, including ourselves.
