Can't get that song out of my head!


from w
Last week I was watching Songs of Praise on TV and a singer caught my attention with a song 'Mary did you know' which I hadn't heard before though it's apparently been around for nearly 17 years. It was on the radio this morning as I watched my little granddaughter painting a picture in Peceli's office. So I did a google search and came up with the sound and all on a Youtube site and others, but couldn't print more than page one and even then it was only the intro. Anyway I can't get that song outta my head so I just wrote by ear the music and can play it on the piano now. I play it in C minor and I think that first page is actually wrong with the first line. Should be C D Eb F etc.
It's a lovely gentle Christmas song. The words are:
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would 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 the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You've kissed 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
Will 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
