Mary, Did You Know?
Reba McEntire · Secret of Giving: A Christmas Collection [1999]
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 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
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
Mary, Did You Know?

Released during the late 1990s, the recording exemplifies the genre's evolution during that era, where traditional hymns were frequently reimagined for contemporary country audiences. As part of her extensive discography, this song highlights her commitment to holiday music while maintaining her distinct artistic voice. The composition has become a staple in her catalog, often performed during holiday seasons and recognized for its melodic accessibility and emotional resonance.
