What's Your Favorite Christmas Song and Why?

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?

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 would 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.

Over the past few years this has become one of my favorite Christmas/Easter songs. I say Christmas/Easter because this song speaks of Jesus as Lord and Savior. I love the fact that this song walks through the amazing things that Jesus did as the Son of God and Son of Man. Most important it speaks of the future reign of Jesus as the Eternal King and the fact that he is God. What theology in a song. I love it! 


So what is your favorite Christmas song? Why is it your favorite?

"Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

I signed this in church one Christmas Eve...It made it so much more personal....It places Jesus where He needs to be an me where I need to be...

Calling us to come and adore Him...

Mary did you know... Is one of my favorite songs. As a mom it makes me think of what my children can do with their lives if Jesus is the center of their lives. It reminds me of why I am here on this earth at this time and what can happen when I let myself be a "popsycle frame with Jesus's picture at the center".
Besides this song I like "Little Drummer Boy".
