说到当代最流行的圣诞歌曲,《Mary Did You Know》(玛丽亚,你知道吗?)无疑是其中之一。至今已被超过三十位艺术家演绎。
歌曲以向耶稣母亲玛丽亚提问的方式,来展现耶稣基督的诞生给世界带来的救赎以及表达对耶稣的颂赞。
这首歌曲的歌词写于1984年。当歌星和戏剧演员Mark Lowry被邀为一个教会的圣诞戏剧写一个剧本时,他写下了一系列对耶稣的母亲玛丽亚的问题,这些问题被用作戏剧中的场景。之后,他尝试去寻找旋律来完成这首歌。12年后,音乐家和作词家Buddy Greene为歌词谱曲,圣诞剧本终于变成了一首歌曲。
Mary, Did You Know?歌词:
Mary did you know take 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'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 a storm with His hand
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod
And when you've kissed your little baby
You've kissed the face of God
Oh Mary 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
Mary did you know
The blind will see the deaf will hear
The dead will live a-gain
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
That's sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am
Oh Mary 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
