Did Mary really fully understand who her precious baby was when she held him close? I know the angel came to visit her and obviously she knew Jesus was the Messiah. But did she comprehend that he was God? As I hold my precious little ones, I can't even imagine what it must have been like for her.
There are two songs which I've heard that express how I feel. I listen to them and imagine what it must have been like for Mary. What awe. What an honor. How amazing that must have been for her!
The lyrics in white are the ones that have made me catch my breath when listening to these songs.

Mary, Did You Know?
Various Artists have recorded this one
Mary did you know that your baby boy would some 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 would give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when your kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary did you know---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?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great--I--- AM---.

Here With Us
Joy Williams
It's still a mystery to me
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measured the sky
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah Son of God, Servant King,
You're here with us You're here with us
Verse 2
It's still a mystery to me, oh,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How His ears have heard an angel's symphony,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah Son of God, Servant King Here with us
You're here with us
(Ohh, mmm, here with us)
Bridge
Jesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man
Chorus (2x)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah Son of God, Servant King
You're here with us You're here with us
