Christmas Is Coming!

Oh my goodness this is now one of my favorite Christmas songs. I have never heard of it before, until my dad got her CD. It's by Julianne Hough and it's called "It Wasn't His Child/Mary Did You Know?"
He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her as she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child
Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brough him joy
He loved that boy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child
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
But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
He did all he could
He grew up with his hands in wood
And he died with his hands in wood
It was God's child, It was God's child
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 heavens perfect lamb?
The sleeping child your holding
Is the great I am
He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her as she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
Mary did you know
It wasn't his child
Mary did you know
It was God's child, it was God's child
It was God's child
