Let us Keep Christmas in Our Hearts

If we lived Christmas
each day as we should,
And made it our aim
to always do good,
Then we would find the key
to meaningful living,
That comes not from getting
but unselfishly giving,
And we would know the great joy
of peace upon earth,
Which was the real purpose
of our Saviour's birth.....
For in the glad tidings
of the first Christmas night,
God showed us the way
and the truth and the light.

Mary Did You Know? (with Lyrics) - Kathy Mattea

Isaiah 9:6 (NLT)

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

My Christmas video for this year.
This is what Christmas is all about.

Peace and Goodwill to you all.
Merry Christmas!

Another version of how the song is sung, by the author himself, Mark Lowry (with David Phelps and Guy Penrod). This time however, without the lyrics displayed with the video.

Lyrics:

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 delievered,
will soon deliever 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 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,
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,
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,
this sleeping child your holding,
is the great I am.
