From the recording Mary Did You Know
This modern day holiday classic has been covered by artists far and wide,
but this soaring duet featuring the award winning soprano, Kristin Amarie, America's Got Talent star, tenor John Riesen, and platinum selling, Grammy nominated pianist, David Lanz, has raised the bar dramatically, giving us not just another pretty cover of MARY DID YOU KNOW, but an enthralling, classical crossover rendition, guarenteed to make you stand up and take notice! A must have for your music collection!
Not one, but two brilliant arrangers
join forces to infuse new energy into this beautiful song. Namely, five time Grammy nominee, artist producer, David Arkenstone and two time Emmy winner, internationally aclaimed composer/arranger, Kurt Bestor.
Joining Bestor's lush orchestral strings and woodwinds, and Arkenstone's magical studio production, are the very in-demand Grammy winning violinist, Charlie Bisharat, and top tier studio and concert musicans, cellist Cameron Stone, and harpist Kirsten Agresta Copely.
David Lanz, Kristin Amarie, John Riesen and their brilliant crew, have truly delivered a powerful new take on this gorgeous classic composition, and in the process, have given us a new epic holiday classic to enjoy year round!
Lyrics
Mary…. Mary….
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 kiss the face of God
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? 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?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great, I Am
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know? Oh
