Mary did you know That your baby boy will one day walk on water? 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 the storm with his hand? Did you know That your baby boy has walked where angels trod? And when you kiss your little baby You've kissed the face of God Oh Mary did you know? 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 Oh Mary did you know That your baby boy is Lord of all creation? Mary did you know That your baby boy will one day rule the nations? Did you know Did you know That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping child you're holding Is the Great I Am oh Mary Mary did you know? .......... Mary did you know? That your baby boy....(fade) "Kenny Rogers & Wynonna-Mary, Did You Know?", sound recording administered by: WMG (thanks for allowing this to remain) "The AUDIO content does not belong to me.
