I just love Christmas music. I can't think of a single Christmas song that I don't like. I enjoy everything from Alvin and the Chipmunks to Georg Friedrich Handel's "The Messiah" and everything in between. In my opinion, one of the very best, if not THE best recent Christmas song to be recorded is Mark Lowry's "Mary Did You Know". If you've not heard it, then by all means, you should find it. Lots of artists have recorded it, but none are quite as good as Mark Lowry's rendition. He wrote it, so it only stands to reason that he would be the one to sing it the way it should be sung. I have heard it many times, and it always gives me chills and brings a tear to my eyes!
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've delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.
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.
Think on those words for a moment!
As we celebrate Christmas, let us think of that little baby "away in the manger" on that "silent night" in the "little town of Bethlehem" and know that He is the great I AM!!! Oh, ( insert YOUR name here- ) did you know?
Evening Update:
We have over 2" of snow on the ground and it's still falling! It's beautiful! I took some pictures of what we're seeing and thought I'd share. These are especially for Sharon and David. I'm sure you two are wishing you were here for this!

Thank you for sharing that song "Mary, Did You Know?". That is one of my favorites. I'm hoping that Mark Lowery sings it Friday evening. He does it so well. Hoping we won't have any big issues with the weather as we travel to St. Louis tomorow. I'm packing a bag just in case the weather is too bad when I get off the bus in Quincy at 1:30 a.m. I will just go to the motel and pretend I'm on a vacation.
Ohhhh you're doing Christmas songs from my survey, ey? I, too, love Mary did you know. It and Oh Holy Night are my favorites. I hope he sings it too!!!
And we had 3" earlier tonight. I nearly took pics of it coming down but my camera is dead. It's charging as we speak. Should get some pretty ones in the morning
And hearing/seeing Mark Lowry perform his own Mary Did You Know last night was awesome!!!!!!!!!
Love the photo's. It is beautiful back there. We arrived at Lakeview RV Resort around two. Once we set up, we drove on down to the Gulf. The sun was just setting. Sorry no photo's but it was pretty and WARM! :-) Our Winter Respite has begun. See you in the Spring.
I also love "Mary Did You Know".
