Lyrics

Mary how could you have known.... that an angel would come and proclaim the holy birth and you would be chosen to bring God's son to earth?....Mary...how could you have known?

Mary how could you have known... that your child would be the savior just as the prophets said, and that He would be born in a lowly manger bed?.....Mary...how could you have known?

Were you not bewildered,,,,, was it very strange?
Did you ever wonder.... how your life would chance?
How could you be ready?.....How did you prepare?
How could you imagine?.....Did you say a Prayer?

Mary how could you have known that your son would be Messiah
and all the world behold...that you would name Him Jesus as
angels had foretold?
Mary....Mary....Mary..... MARY.........MARY.....How could you have known?
