'Mary Did You Know?' Stunning Performance From 2 Christian Groups - Staff Picks

Anthem Lights and Charlotte Ave remind us of the real reason for the season with this beautiful performance of ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ and ‘Breath Of Heaven.’

It took over 7 years for Mark Lowry, the songwriter, to perfect the lyrics to this song. The idea came to Lowry when he was writing a Christmas program for Jerry Falwell and he started thinking about what he would ask Mary if she was sitting right in front of him. He wondered how she must have felt when the angel told her she would birth a child of God. Then, he put together the questions that eventually became the lyrics we all know and love today.

‘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?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God’

Today, Anthem Lights and Charlotte Ave are coming together for a stunning performance of ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ and ‘Breath Of Heaven.’

Anthem Lights is an all-male group composed of Caleb Grimm, Chad Graham, Joey Stamper, and Spencer Kane. While Charlotte Ave’s all-female ensemble includes members Mandy, Olivia, and Lauryn.

As these talented artists join their voices together, we are reminded of the true magnitude of our Savior’s birth.

‘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’

Luke 1:35 “And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.”
