twas the night before Christmas...

away in a manger
no crib for a bed
the little Lord Jesus
laid down his sweet head
the stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
the little Lord Jesus
asleep on the hay

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 kissed the face of God?

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?
the sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
