Mary, Did You Know?
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 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?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

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?
That sleeping child you’re holding is the great, I Am

About the carol Mary, Did You Know?
“Mary, Did You Know?” is a contemporary Christian Christmas song written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene. Lowry wrote the lyrics in the 1980s, and Buddy Greene later composed the melody. The song was recorded by several artists before becoming widely recognized through later performances, including the version by Pentatonix on their 2014 album That’s Christmas to Me.
The song is written as a series of questions addressed to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It reflects on the future life and mission of her son, imagining what Mary might have understood about the child she held. The lyrics focus on the contrast between the humble birth of Jesus and the Christian belief about his divine purpose, including his miracles and role as Savior.
Pentatonix’s version gives the song a modern arrangement through layered a cappella harmonies, creating a powerful and emotional performance. Its connection to Christmas comes directly from the Nativity story and its focus on Mary and the infant Jesus. Unlike many traditional carols that describe the events of Christmas night, this song encourages listeners to reflect on the deeper meaning behind Christ’s birth.
