“Mary, Did You Know?” Song lyrics by Mark Lowry (1991):
Series of questions asked to Mary about aspects of the life of Jesus
Did she know how special her Son was/is to the world?
Mary may not have known how it would all play out but she knew Jesus was God in the flesh and that He would save the world from sin!
Luke 1:26-38: Gabriel told her much of what would happen!

Mary, Did You Know? By Mark Lowry (1991)
Lyrics
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will 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?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and 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?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am

3. Luke 1:26-38 (1:26-33)
26. Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, 27. to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28. And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." 29. But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. 30. The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. 31. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32. "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33. and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."

Conclusion
She was carrying the child of God and while she may not
have foreknown the miracles He would do she knew He
was able to do anything He wanted to!
If she was familiar with prophecies in Scripture she could have known much of what Jesus went through and did as it was foretold before Jesus even came to walk on the Earth (Luke 24:44-48).
She knew He would be a Savior (Mt. 1:21), even knew she would suffer pain as if pierced with a sword (Lk. 2:34-35) but may not have known what all that would entail! (Jn. 19:26-27: At the foot of the cross of her Son)
She knew He could perform miracles and instructed the servants at Cana, “Whatever He says to you, do it!” (John 2:1-11)
She believed in Him and is counted amongst His disciples after His resurrection and ascension (Acts 1:12-14)

Have you come to know Him and obey Him?
Let us have the humble heart of Mary and say, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord” and obey Him! (Luke 1:38)
