Christmas songs come in all different forms. Some are fun and lighthearted or focus on winter play, while others seek to share the true meaning of Christmas.
Amid the hustle and bustle of decorations, parties, shopping and everything "merry and bright," it's easy to lose sight of why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. After all, without Jesus, there would be no Christmas.
Perfect for helping us keep the right focus, is the song, "Mary, Did You Know?" as sung by Pentatonix. This a cappella group has an impeccably clear sound that is literally music to the ears. The original lyrics by Mark Lowry, encapsulate questions we might each ask Mary, the mother of Jesus.
It's hard to comprehend what she must have gone through as the mother of the one who would save us all and to raise the only begotten son of God on earth. Could you imagine?
Read these beautifully inquisitive lyrics - while you listen to them, of course!
