Fifth Sunday Meditation: Behold God My Salvation!

"But Mary was keeping within herself all these sayings,

weighing and pondering them in her heart."

ISAIAH

CHAPTER 12

And in that day you will say, I will give thanks to You, O Lord;

for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away,

and You comfort me.

Behold, God, my salvation!

I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my Strength

and Song; yes, He has become my Salvation.

Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation.

And in that day you will say, Give thanks to the Lord, call upon

His name and by means of His name is solemn entreaty;

declare and make known His deeds among the peoples of the earth,

proclaim that His name is exalted!

Sing praises to the Lord, for He has done excellent things, gloriously;

let this be made known to all the earth.

Cry aloud and shout joyfully, you women and inhabitants of Zion,

for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

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'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?

When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God?

(Refrain)

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 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 will one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?

That sleeping child you're holding is the great I AM.

(Refrain)
