The 5th Song of Christmas

Every new mother and father wonder and dream of the life their new baby will have. Each parent wants their child to have a better life…to be the smartest, best looking, most athletic, popular, and talented kid on the block. We hope that our child will grow up to be a doctor, a lawyer, a professional athlete, or a successful businessman who will make a comfortable living, have a good measure of authority, and make a difference in the world.

But what if your child was the SON OF GOD!?! What could you possible wish for? How would you raise Him? Would you have to discipline Him? Would you ever have to correct Him? Or would He correct you? Would He try out for school athletics? Would He make the team? Would He ever fall down and scrape His knee or hit His thumb with a hammer? Would He cry? Would you ever go hungry again? Or could he miraculously provide food when none exists? How do you teach God’s own Son the holy scriptures? Would you constantly have to tell your other children to be more like Jesus? Would you constantly have to tell yourself to be more like Jesus? How might if feel to actually hug and kiss God?

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19

Mary Did You Know?
By Mark Lowry

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
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?
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 you kiss your little boy
You've kissed the face of God

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And 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?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules 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
