►LYRICS - Mary, Did You Know?
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 storms with his hands?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
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
That sleeping child you're holding
That sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I Am

This was a happy morning surprise. Thank you Liz for carrying us all along. you're the best!

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

Thanks so much Liz, another job well done.👍

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

Thanks Liz!! Again, with little time, you did a great job! 👍

[@user-fb9wu2gr8c]

Dearest Liz!Thank you so much for the lyrics! This job you do is of great help to me-I"m not a native speaker and, being out of a conversational practice for a long time,I don"t always catch the meaning from the first listening...But there"s Lyrics -and that is great!!!

[@josegenaroriveraloanzon]

Thank you, Liz!

[@allenra530]

It is hard to believe that Julianne was once too shy to perform and she had to be coaxed to join the group. All y'all are simply wonderful.

[@jeffcox277]

I have been listening to y’all for years. This is my favorite Christmas song and this is THE BEST version ever.

[@andyclark3530]

I know I've heard a thousand covers of this, but first time I heard the Petersen version it was like a new song to me. Julianne kills it in the lead, and what a harmony team - Ellen & Katie! As always, Katie's fiddle and Emmet's dobro give it a unique soud with Matt and Mama laying down a solid baseline. Breathtaking job, and even better in person.

[@makeGODsmile]

Beautiful beautiful ✝️

[@rebeccahylant7695]

Absolute perfection

[@ak2nda695]

They make me love songs that I've never cared for in the past.

[@danieljackson763]

Harmony sent chills, all over! Happy Birthday Lord Jesus!

[@singmysong1167]

And I also love the unique banjo sounds added to the mix!

[@bradblankenship7364]

She has the perfect voice for this song! She knocked it out of the park!

[@user-bf4zs8xk8s]

This voice! I could listen to Julianne non-stop. Please, more from her. More from all of you. Love you all. Great performance

[@janok659]

In my opinion, Julianne's best performance.Her unique voice together with the arrangement and the sound of musical instruments are amazing.

[@googoo-gjoob]

have you seen _Gentle On My Mind_ ?

[@janok659]

Yes,there are many beautiful songs:Gentle On My Mind,Wade In The Water,Dreams and many others,but this is something special for me,this arrangement seems to be directly for her.@@googoo-gjoob

[@Matticus-mb6wl]

This and Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel are my favorites from Julianne's songs.

[@postalinVT]

YEP !!

[@keithduff9344]

imo, Julianne's Bear Tracks is the best.

[@soulsharts]

The backing vocals sounded very pleasant to my ears.

[@amelkendebrant4549]

I thought I was sick of this song.. but every time I hear this version I can’t stop crying, this performance is so touching!

[@INFJason]

What an amazing voice coming outta that girl. Hypnotic.

[@oradimusica]

A really good version! Fantastic voice and amazing instrumentation. God bless you!!!

[@kevinworth1713]

Katie’s counterpoint starting 2nd verse, leading up to her solo, is gold. So much extra melodic interest. The backing vocals, slightly altering melody, etc. 🔥

[@astridrenata]

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND ARRANGEMENT❤

[@mariodorado2680]

You may try but I doubt you’ll find three more beautiful sisters, who are professional singers, with the most beautiful harmonizing voices, in the best and most beloved family band, than Katie, Ellen (Haygood) and Julianne Petersen. Their harmonies give chills to my chills🥶

[@randalldriver]

Beautifully performed, excellent lead Julianne.

[@tutorials_with_felix]

Lucky me not knowing that this is a christmas song. Really like it and will listen to it all year long!

[@jamesvela3680]

Julianne! Your voice moves me to tears, and your Mom and siblings (Emmett included) are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@markrochford897]

Love this arrangement with Julianne's vocals it is a winner. Love the harmony and also to hear Karen's playing was a real treat. Happy Christmas

[@JackieResi]

This version really touches my heart. Thank you for all the joy you give to us❣

[@nmbassy]

Yes!! I love this one. HE is the reason for the season...thank you all for sharing the truth through your talents!

[@jeffjahns1974]

So wonderful to see the older girls look at their baby sister. The proud looks on their faces in every song she sings warms my heart.

[@sojournerquestion]

this is just about too beautiful.

[@clydea.murphy2219]

Just love this song, Julianne outperformed herself with this one, you all know songs have a way of opening the heart to the holy sprit!! Powerful Performance

[@DelbertStinkfester]

This song put a lump in my throat and I didn't cry a tear or two cause I'm a grown man and we don't admit to that sort of thing

[@Hwillijonl]

They are great. Rhythm, beautiful voices, presence.

[@reggie_avery]

All through these years, this is the Petersens best performance ever. A lovely version of a beautiful song and the best of all the versions of this song in KZbin.

[@aledmonds1737]

I hadn’t heard this song until I saw the video by the Petersens who I follow. I instantly loved it. I thought there might be a better version on iTunes by another artist but having listened to them all there isn’t. This is by far the best version released. A credit to the family… and thanks for a wonderful rendition..

I've watched those older videos of those talented kids playing up a storm on stage there. Great memories and you picked a lovely Autumn day for the shoot. Thanks and God bless you all.

Julianne has matured in so many ways. Practice sure makes perfect.

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

Classic Christmas song dating back to the 90s, perfectly re-arranged and beautifully renovated. The initial riff of four chords is perfect and already gives the idea of something different from the past. The instrumental performance is beautiful with Katie's solos and the bass also played with the bow which give the ideal orchestration for this song. And then Julianne's splendid and unique voice which shows almost incredible vocal control and range over multiple octaves. Her improvements are truly more and more evident day by day. However, the performance of the whole group was excellent! Thanks as always for everything! 🙏❤

Beautifully done all around. Great arrangement and fantastic job by Julianne. When I first heard the Petersen's cover this song on their new album, I did not expect them to have Julianne singing it. It was a pleasant surprise and the arrangement fit Julianne perfectly. I just love it.
