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。这首歌曲自96年完成后，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。据维基百科介绍，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。若看歌词，直抵心灵深处。最惊艳一句是，“当你亲吻你的婴孩时，你正亲吻上帝的面颊。”顿时，潸然泪下...Mary, did you know that your Baby BoyWill one day walk on water
Mary, did you know that your Baby BoyWill save our sons and daughters
Did you know that your Baby Boy
This Child that you delivered
Mary, did you know that your Baby BoyWill give sight to a blind man
Mary, did you know that your Baby BoyWill calm a storm with His hand
Did you know that your Baby BoyHas walked where angels trod
When you kiss your little BabyYou've kissed the face of God
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
Mary, did you know that your Baby BoyWill one day rule the nations
Did you know that your Baby Boy
This sleeping child you're holding
