Mary Did You Know

Jordan Smith sings this one as a string of questions addressed to someone who couldn't possibly have known the answers yet: "Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?" Each question names a specific future miracle attached to an ordinary newborn.

The bridge shifts from questions to direct quotation of prophecy: "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." Isaiah's promise gets recited almost verbatim, dropped into the middle of a lullaby-shaped song.

The final verse pushes the question as far as it can go: "did you know that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect Lamb... he is the great, the great I Am?" Isaiah's list of reversals — sight, hearing, walking, speech — gives the bridge its content directly, and the closing title claimed for the child, echoing God's own name from Exodus, turns a song about not knowing into one that ends by naming exactly who was being held.
