Mary Did You Know

Mary, Did You Know?A Christmas song by Mark Lowry / Buddy Greene. We tried to perform Clay Aiken rendition of it, at our church's Christmas event. In Isaiah 9:6-7, the prophet Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah who would come to save His people. This child would be born, and He would be given authority and rule over His people, and establish His kingdom forevermore.

When Christ was born, He fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy. And these are the names He will be and is called - Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This is the Jesus whom we proclaim was born, who lived and died a sinless man, whom God raised on the third day, and is now seated at His right hand and rules over all creation(Ephesians 1:20-21). Mary's child is indeed our Saviour, Deliverer, and perfect Lamb.

Watched on youtube and came here for the tab. This is just a suggestion; maybe do a traditional tab and post to a site like Ultimate Tab. Most of my music is printed out and put in my book. The format here is awkward.

Hi thanks for the advice. I actually prefer a blog interface because I'm able to complement the tabs with the videos as well.
The format may appear awkward because of the different browsers being used. Generally, Firefox and Chrome work well. I know Explorer has some alignment issues.

Hi Graham,
I was wondering, on Daniel's instructional video, what chord does he play after the E - A - D for "Did you that your baby boy has come to make you new"? I was wondering if you could also write the tab for the chord?

Thanks!
Sherry

Hi Sherry,
The chords are actually written above the tabs in the blog post (written from the performance video). I wrote it as G A D, although he said Em A D in the instructional video. You can play either cause the sound is similar.

He plays a A/C# chord after that. You can see how to play the chord from the tabs :)

Also, I've written the Lyrics And Chords for the song which can be downloaded off the "Christian Music" page at this link: http://grahamchoo.blogspot.com/2007/08/christian-music.html

Just click on the pdf icon beside the song title :)
