The highlight of my busy day was a quiet reflection before an evening church meeting with singing by the a cappella group Pentatonix. This song asks Mary if she knows that her son is the Messiah – the great I am, the Lord of creation. Surely she does not know all of these things as she cradles the newborn Jesus in her arms?
It reminds me that I don’t know what wonders God will do in my life either. I’m not expecting my children to walk on water, but God is at work in them – and in you – in wondrous ways. Skip the ad and take a quiet minute to breathe and listen.
Lyrics:
Mary did you know that your baby boy will someday 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 a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when your 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.
