Mary, did you know?

This is a Christmas English Bite! A song that I have heard recently, while studying ESL Bible Study. Thank you Mary Ellen for your love and willingness to teach us English.

The music named “Mary, did you know?” is a Christmas classic that touched my heart. It is also known as a lullaby song.

The lyric is about the relationship between Mary and Jesus, her newborn son. Let’s check a verse out.

“This child that you’ve delivered
Will soon deliver you”

It sounds weird, doesn’t it? How can someone gets pregnant, gives birth and after that their child delivers their mom?

In this context, the meaning of “will soon deliver you” is to save. 

Merry Christmas🎄Love ❤️

Mary Did You Know? (Pentatonix)

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 a 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

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?
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

Oh Mary did you know?
