►LYRICS - Mary, Did You Know?
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 storms with his hands?

Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

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?
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am

*LYRICS - Mary, Did You Know?*

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 the storms with his hands?

Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

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?
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am

It is hard to believe that Julianne was once too shy to perform and she had to be coaxed to join the group. All y'all are simply wonderful.

[andyclark]

I know I've heard a thousand covers of this, but first time I heard the Petersen version it was like a new song to me. Julianne kills it in the lead, and what a harmony team - Ellen & Katie! As always, Katie's fiddle and Emmet's dobro give it a unique soud with Matt and Mama laying down a solid baseline. Breathtaking job, and even better in person.

[jeffcox]

I have been listening to y’all for years. This is my favorite Christmas song and this is THE BEST version ever.

[t.e.]

How does this not have 10 million views already?

[Cupcakeskitchen]

I just discovered you guys on YouTube. Thank you for making these videos.

[DelbertStinkfester]

This song put a lump in my throat and I didn't cry a tear or two cause I'm a grown man and we don't admit to that sort of thing

[janok]

In my opinion, Julianne's best performance.Her unique voice together with the arrangement and the sound of musical instruments are amazing.

[aledmonds]

Agreed.Julianne's voice is getting so much stronger and mature

[bradblankenship]

She has the perfect voice for this song! She knocked it out of the park!

[iguesi]

One of my 94 year old mother's songs. The tears come when she hears... "You kiss the face of God"

Thank you.😇

[bfzsxks]

This voice! I could listen to Julianne non-stop. Please, more from her. More from all of you. Love you all.
Great performance

[oradimusica]

A really good version! Fantastic voice and amazing instrumentation. God bless you!!!

[amelkendebrant]

I thought I was sick of this song.. but every time I hear this version I can’t stop crying, this performance is so touching!

[mariodorado]

You may try but I doubt you’ll find three more beautiful sisters, who are professional singers, with the most beautiful harmonizing voices, in the best and most beloved family band, than Katie, Ellen (Haygood) and Julianne Petersen. Their harmonies give chills to my chills🥶

[eljefe]

The Petersens + Christmas music = The start to a wonderful Christmas season 🙌

[soulsharts]

The backing vocals sounded very pleasant to my ears.

[theresap]

Julianne's voice, Katie's fiddle, the Girl's harmonizing!!!
🌟🌟🌟

[AnniePresley]

That was BEAUTIFUL! That is my favorite Christmas song! I just wish the radios would play it and show these people who are hustling and bussiling through the holiday season, the real meaning of Christ-mas

[kevinworth]

Katie’s counterpoint starting 2nd verse, leading up to her solo, is gold. So much extra melodic interest. The backing vocals, slightly altering melody, etc. 🔥
