Mary Did You Know

He laid down his head thankfully upon a bed of straw Mary his mother softly caressing his head, singing him to sleep His father Joseph eyeing the sheep, cows, and other guest there While the sound of "Messiah" blows through the crisp night air. Mary did you know? Not one trumpet blared as the Messiah was manger born The sounds of maternal birth pains followed by an angelic cry No children singing, no bells ringing, not one parade in sight To announce that the Savior, Jesus, was born this very night Mary, did you know? Yours that was seen as the least... is really the most? Your manger born Messiah- appeared from the right hand of God The crucifiers saw him with hatred, that's what they wished to see Was the grown up baby Jesus....that would soon deliver me.. Mary, did you know?
